Plot
A young man contemplates suicide in a doomed world.
Sinekatalog’s take
Robert Bresson's late film follows a young man contemplating suicide as ecological and political ruin spreads. Cold and austere, with an anguished modern mood, it is a bleak, challenging and unnervingly prescient work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
