money

Going to the school theater at night to revisit Bresson's film "Money" (L'argent, 1983) - the last time I saw it at the "Bresson Film Festival" at the China Film Archive, the level of depression is reminiscent of Chabrol La cérémonie (1995). The middle-class teenagers started by deceiving people with counterfeit banknotes, and the simple people at the bottom became victims and culprits, deceived and cruelly treated, and revenge in cruel ways.

Bresson is good at creating off-painting spaces with sound.
restricted view, part suggests the whole, close-up of hands, feet, axe, steel fork.
The scene where Yvon hangs clothes with the old woman is really good.

L'Argent quotes

  • Yvon Targe: [to the guy who sent him to jail] You have me on your conscience. You have to answer for that now.

  • Yvon Targe: Wait. Everyone will be happy soon. I won't wait around for that. Believe me, it will bore us stupid. I want happiness now, on my terms.
