Salutations!

An acquaintance is looking for  the screenplay of Diary of a Country Priest in
French preferably, though I think English would do.  If you know of any, or have
a copy and would be willing to send him a photocopy, would you please let me
know?  (The only published one I can find is in Italian, as it happens.)

      Very truly yours,

Salutations Fellow Bressonians

My dvd player has gone the way of all flesh (sso to speak) and I am looking for
anew one.  I have dvds from France and, I believe, Britain as well as the U.S.,
so am looking for an all-regional player.  If you have any suggestions, will you
please let me know off list?

       Gratefully yours,

Today (September 25th) is Robert Bresson's birthday.  I hope everyone will
commemorate it in an appropriate fashion!

Wow. Thanks Gary. "A Man Escaped" has always been my
favorite Bresson. It impacted me emotionally and very
personally at a particularly wrenching time in my life
ie. High School) and its power hasn't diminished over
the years. My other faves would include "Le Diable
Probablement," "Pickpocket," and "Les Dames du Bois de
Boulogne."

I saw this film this week.  It is one of Mr. Bresson's most intensely tragic
works.  I noticed for the first time that Mouchette does not actually speak
until over twenty minutes into the film in her encounter with a poacher which 
leads ot the tragic denouement. (She does hum, sing, and cry before the scene.) 
However, she is such a strong presence  that I never noticed this before. 
Having seen it so often before, I was able to notice and savor smaller elements.
The Bressonian sound track of natural sounds is always wonderful:  for example,
the crackling of the fire in two different buildings in which Mouchette is with
the poacher  because Mr. Bresson's style is so spare it is also sensuous. In few
other films would we notice the sound of fire and the sound of traffic. Here
they stand out.

It is not only the artistic vision of Mr. Bresson that grabs me, bu the sheer
craftsmanship of his film-making.  These film are too tough to be artsy.

Does anyone know if anyone connected wit the film has writte or spoken of it? 
(I already know about the uthor Marie cardinal, wo played Mouchette's mother.)

So has A Man Escaped I believe.

Yes Gary, this is news. It will be great to add another Bresson to my
collection. I've seen 'Le
Diable..' only once, a very long time ago, and I am afraid that in my mind the
movie has
merged in a way with the other elusive Bresson, Quatre Nuits ...
I other words: i'm very curious whether this film is on a par with, say,
L'Argent.
