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.

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.

It's mind-blowing.
06/12/05
The ending, most of all, shows Bresson’s ability to find an alternate route to grace, given the circumstances.
06/12/05
L'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).

As others have pointed out, it does not feel like the work of a man in his 80s.

Based on a novella by Tolstoy, this French film offers an elegant study of money.

Bresson's obsessive leg and arm shots force us to use our imaginations; there are no eyes to tell us what the characters are feeling.

Top CriticAbsolutely stunning; even on his last film Bresson had not dimmed one iota.
04/04/03
Many critics regard it as the very best film of the Eighties.
03/10/03
A work of true cinematic genius that stands head and shoulders above most other pictures and seems to defy critical judgment.
