"There is a huge barrier between his greatness, his silence, his commitment and his dreams, and the world in which they are mistaken for stumbling and obsession." Une Femme Douce, Bresson's newest film, may go some small way toward razing the barrier. Adapted from a Dostoevski novella about the suicide of a young bride, Une Femme Douce finds Bresson dealing once again with the corruption of innocence, a theme that has dominated his work from Diary of a Country Priest to last...
