The second of tonight's films celebrating the 80th birthday of Robert Bresson
A Man Escaped (Un condamne à mort s'estechappe) starring
Francois Leterrier
Condemned to death by the Nazis, Fontaine, a young Resistance fighter, begins to engineer an escape. His progress is achingly slow, and no one has ever succeeded in escaping from the Fort de Montluc.
Bresson's gripping account of the true story of Andre Devigny is a masterpiece of suspense.
