L'argent

“Bran I'm starting to get into so I want to take L'argent I've seen it once embarrassingly on a plane so I want to take this to like properly watch it on the big screen...”

“When did L'argent happen? I'm convinced this is a dark comedy because Bresson is funny in his own way. And if you think about the premise of this movie, it's about a joke gone horribly, horribly wrong and it's seen through to its very end. And it's... Yes, it's kind of crazy and dark, but the very base of it sounds like a joke. It's so insane.”

“L’argent by Bresson. L’argent by Bresson, like, whenever I’m trying to make the demonstration that all filmmakers are musicians and that all films are music, even if there’s no music in the film, L’argent is my best example.”

“This is the first Bresson film I saw. L'argent. I don't even know if I say it the right way, I'm terrible in French, but, this one surprised me. The craft is, like no other.”

“Okay, L'argent. Other than Pialat, the other filmmaker we talked about a lot when we were cutting Janet Planet was Bresson. I feel like Bresson was more of like an aesthetic reference for us too. I remember specifically about L'argent we were talking about depictions of offscreen violence. I always think of the end when at the farm, the old couple, when the husband slaps his wife, instead of seeing the slap he cuts away and you just see the teacup on the saucer and it just moves a little bit.”
