Robert Bresson Brief

Rented a few movies by Robert Bresson recently, with varied results. A Man Escaped was our favorite of the three: very simply told but totally gripping. Lancelot of the Lake was much the least favorite. I frankly thought it was horrible. We are sending it back without finishing it. And Diary of a Country Priest Victor could not bear, but I am keeping it to watch when he's not around--I found it kind of intriguing.
