> ***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.

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

Quite interesting especially regarding the historical content it’s set against. I did love the cinematography thought this had the great classic cyan/green tint of these old french movies. And the deep reds. The grain and detail also made many shots look quite painterly.  For the philosophical content I mean it was certainly quite nihilistic. But I think it’s an interesting watch given the current state of the world. Although I will say the movie is on the more exaggerated side and the points it’s making were probably more profound upon release. I find it to be done quite tastefully especially regarding the subject matter. It doesn’t approve of the action. But rather explains the reasoning. And not in some where it’s  just tryna be a tear jerker. It’s rather contemplative and reflective. I liked it. Although I think it could’ve been fairly shorter and still had the same effect despite not being a necessarily super long movie. I particularly enjoyed the tight framings and compositions felt very intimate. A lot of shots look like part of photo essays. Also that’s gotta be the worst fuckin therapist ever 😭😭
