A Man Escaped (Criterion Collection) (Blu-ray)

With the simplest of concepts and sparest of techniques, Robert Bresson (AU HASARD BALTHAZAR) made one of the most suspenseful jailbreak films of all time in a MAN ESCAPED. Based on the memoirs of an imprisoned French resistance leader, this unbelievably taut and methodical marvel follows the fictional Fontaine's single-minded pursuit of freedom, detailing the planning and carrying out of his escape with gripping precision. But Bresson's film is not merely process-minded; it's a work of intense spirituality and humanity.
