The TVI Take
Robert Bresson's 1983 final film about a counterfeit banknote that triggers a cascade of moral catastrophes across multiple characters. The structural commitment to the canonical Bresson minimalist register, non-actor protagonists, refusal of conventional dramatic editing, sustained moral-philosophical inquiry, is the catalog's most-disciplined late-career work.
Won Cannes Best Director.
