L'Argent (France, 1983)

A film by the apparently famous Robert Bresson about greed.

By the end of this film, I was laughing at the absurdity of it. There was a complete lack of emotion throughout the movie. Forgery, robbery, perjury, murder - all done with a poker face & slow-moving actions. No one was in a hurry & no one seemed to be affected in the least.

After listening to the "expert" commentary on the special features of the DVD, these characteristics supposedly make this film a brilliant work of art. I beg to differ.
