A Man Escaped or The Wind Bloweth Where It Listeth (1956) concludes this series. Considered by many the greatest prison escape movie of all time, the legendary French director Robert Bresson turns Andre Devigny’s memoir of life in the French Resistance into a stunning, meditation on the deepest meanings of freedom, struggle, and inner liberation. The director Jean-Luc Godard said of Bresson, “He is to French Cinema what Dostoyevsky is to the Russian novel and Mozart is to German music.” Considered Bresson’s “masterpiece” this film will be introduced by one of the Monks from the Monastery of the Risen Christ. Brief discussion to follow.
