*Plot and ending analyzed*
This film is absolutely wonderful, but when examined closer, it is merely a simple film, and yet that is its main strength.
In what it is trying to express, a man who attempts to escape from a Gestapo prison camp, it relates to the existential values of the time.
I have never seen a more crisp telling of a drama told in straightforward narrative and with uncomplicated dialog.
What is at the basis of this fabulous Bresson film, is man's determination in the face of imprisonment.
Truly recommended, a poignant and powerfully effective film.
