See more Jun 15, 2021 I've seen 'Two Lovers' and Visconti's 'White Nights', now this. In my view, only the last could be described as 'mannered'. Perhaps, because Jacques is a painter there is a tendency to carry artistic discipline into this affair of the heart. There is a strict control containing the emotional experience; perhaps this is why one critic suggest some happiness in the ending which presents the experience as a gift to art. Parisian street romance and romantic music seem to belong to a shadowy world the artist is not really at home in. See more Jan 2, 2018 My third or forth Bresson flick. Another Fyodor Dostoevsky adaptation where a girl is about to commit suicide after some relationship issues. Some dude, "The Dreamer", rescues her in a way, and wants to see her again. He's a painter, that's not up to much use, really. They meet again the same place the next day, at the bridge. Her man is about to go away for a while, she cannot go with him, so she turns sad, but finds some joy in chats with The Dreamer. When her guy, quite unexpectedly comes back, the question is who she will follow. Her man, or her new flame? A slow film, that never really grips me. It's got a similiar style as "Une femme douce" and I find them pretty equal, also when it comes to my likings. OK plus, but not mindblowing. A bit to slow and lacking of the really big scenes for that. I also miss some more knowledge of the characters. They talk, but nothing much comes out of it for me. Possibly it's done on purpose as this film tries to be casual about rather normal situations. 5.5 out of 10 tape recorders. See more Jul 2, 2017 Dostoevsky's White Nights transferred to Paris by Robert Bresson; the dreamy cinematography supplements the minimalist approach to the material. See more Dec 5, 2012 Bresson's overlooked adaptation of Dostoyevsky's White Nights, A bit more accessible than his other works that I've seen, Has some interesting moments but overall I have mixed feelings, It may a need a rewatch See more May 2, 2012 Not his best or most interesting work, but it's very much worth your time, if only for the musical interlude involving a band on a boat passing under a bridge. Except for the dubbed Italian version (which also cuts out an extensive nude scene), this film has never been issued on home video, but an excellent 35mm print was struck and circulated for Bresson's centennial so if you live close to a good repertory theater, you may be able to catch it. The film's most notable for its sensuality, romanticism and humor, something Bresson has rarely shown since his earliest work. See more Read all reviews
