Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne
This one-of-a-kind love story, based on a novelette by Denis Diderot and with dialogue by Jean Cocteau, follows the schemes of a society lady as she plots to start a scandalous affair between her aristocratic ex-lover and a prostitute. With his second feature film, director Robert Bresson was already forging his singularly brilliant filmmaking technique, creating a moving study of the power of vengeance and the strength of true love.
