The film"s page
Bresson’s follow-up to «Balthazar» performs another minor miracle while actually treating one: a series of vicious vicissitudes befalling a young girl leading her to martyrdom and a near-Biblical state of grace. Economy of expression and intensity of effect contribute to a wrenching magnificence.
