Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne
based on a novelette by Denis Diderot and with dialogue written by Jean Cocteau, this story is about a society lady who tries to get her aristocratic ex-lover and a prostitute to have an affair. When Robert Bresson directed this compelling exploration of the power of revenge and the strength of genuine love, he was already establishing his distinctively great filmmaking method.
