Almost a nightmare, kind of a horror, but so much more really. Bresson used non actors and the lead actor is extraordinary especially considering he has never acted before. The photography is black and white and shot in winter leaving a grim exterior of skeletal trees on a Normandie, France coastal town. The film is biblical in depth.
Some great scenes in this film, in particular the scene where Delphine argues about vegetarianism over dinner in a garden....the characters talk over each other in such a realistic, refreshing way. Rohmer looks for something else in his films and they're not for everyone but those that like Noah Baumbach or filmmakers that delve deeper for answers to philosophical questions then Rohmer is essential viewing. I wish more of his films were on Prime like his early classics but one can only hope.
Well, that's just me, and I've liked and seen almost all their films. Fargo is up there too, so you see I kind of like their thrillers more, I admit it. This film is so good and scary and keeps you on the edge of the seat like really no film I've ever seen, perhaps John Carpenter's Halloween, and that is some good company.
