Rated - 4 starsDon't let it escape your attention

Bresson's spare understated style is a perfect match for this tale of a Resistance fighter holed up in a Nazi prison, determined to escape. His plans are methodical, and methodically charted by the director, but it weaves a strong web of fascination.

Boring to say the least I tried desperately to get into the sub titles but it was too much to bear
