Many critics regard it as the very best film of the Eighties.

blank in style and bleak in message... Yet like money itself, the value of L'Argent is no more or less than what one is willing to give it.
07/22/05
Based on a novella by Tolstoy, this French film offers an elegant study of money.

It's tough but it's also rewarding.

Top CriticL'Argent showcases the filmmaker at the height of his formal ingenuity, particularly his use of narrative ellipses and fragmented space (close-ups of legs, hands, objects).
06/11/05
Bresson is not often noted for his engagement with social issues, but in fact his films consistently address the physical and spiritual effects of poverty and crime.

The ending, most of all, shows Bresson’s ability to find an alternate route to grace, given the circumstances.

A powerful and harrowing film that renews one's faith that modern cinema can bring to light what no other medium can do in the same way.
05/15/05
A work of true cinematic genius that stands head and shoulders above most other pictures and seems to defy critical judgment.
