Les anges du péché (1943)
(Angels of Sin)
Country: FR
Technical: bw 73m
Director: Robert Bresson
Cast: Renée Faure, Jany Holt
Synopsis:
A nun preparing to take her vows develops a quasi-erotic obsession for a delinquent girl.
Review:
Bresson's career began with this characteristically religious subject. The rituals of convent life are treated in a manner similar to those of mediæval life in Lancelot du Lac, in contrast with which the obsessive behaviour of the novice nun betrays a confusion between the desire for the soul and the desire to save the soul.
