This film made a great impression on me. I can't even explain how underrated The Devil, Probably is. One of the deepest and most profound films I watched recently. Bresson finally convinced me of that there is no hope

I hate life, but I hate death too. I find it appalling
I knew from the beginning this was gonna be my shit. I know this was doing numbers from nihilistic French teenagers in the 70s. I think technically the film is perfect and I adore the camera work and how they capture the color brown in this film. While watching it my friend said “this movies brown as hell” so I decided to steal it. I think the title is genius in like the representation of man. How we can’t take the blame for the societal decay that we cause and we have to instead blame it on some malevolent construct instead. While I think what it has to say lacks much nuance I still think this is great.
