Movie Review - A Man Escaped

Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut (1956)
directed by Robert Besson
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix

I can't think of a better way not to describe this movie than one fan's rant on IMDB:

"It's like the Shawshank of the 1950s."

Bresson's about as far away from that melodramatic poppycock as the revolving door of cinema can turn. Clean, sharp, and full of implications - and never, I'm sure, overrated at all.
