罪恶天使 2.0

1st full-length feature by the self-described Christian-atheist, it was made in occupied France after Bresson had done a year in a prison camp.\nThere's nothing ostentatious i his style. It's sparse, no flashy camera-acrobatics or editing tricks. I always feel the best directors are those whose work you hardly notice.\nThe story is set in a convent, Sisters of Bethany, it's purpose is to help women in prison rehabilitate. In it we find Anne-Marie, a somewhat proud \u0026 middle-class woman who comes to logger-heads w/Mother Superior \u0026 this leads to problems. Along the way she connects w/one of the more recalcitrant prisoners \u0026 recognizes her pain \u0026 need to be reached out to. Upon release the prisoner returns to join the convent under suspicious circumstances.\nWhat we have is a contrast in characters who come to the convent for different reasons \u0026 an exploration into spiritual matters. Well worth watching...
