SUBLIME CINEMA #663 - A MAN ESCAPED

As with Bresson, this film is somewhat procedural and dry - but his movies always reached for and often achieve transcendent glory. This is the best prison escape movies ever made

François Leterrier in A Man Escaped (Robert Bresson, 1956) Cast: François Leterrier, Charles LeClainche, Jacque Ertaud, Maurice Beerbeck, Roland Monod. Screenplay: Robert Bresson, Bbased on a memoir by André Devigny. Cinematography: Léonce-Henri Burel. Production design: Pierre Charbonnier. Film editing: Raymond Lamy.  "I don't laugh," Fontaine (François Leterrier) says. No, he doesn't. In fact, throughout A Man Escaped, Leterrier's expression rarely changes. But we always know the determination, the doubt, the calculation, the suspicion that's going through his head, thanks to Leterrier's use of his eyes.* But as Eisenstein taught us so long ago, montage is responsible for so much of what we feel and witness in movies, and we also have to credit Raymond Lamy's editing as well as Léonce-Henri Burel's cinematography and of course Robert Bresson's direction for making A Man Escaped, based on the memoirs of André Devigny, a member of the French Resistance who was imprisoned by the Nazis, one of the most powerful excursions into a man's soul ever put on film. The word "minimalism" was not so much in use when A Man Escaped was made as it is today, but if ever a film was minimalist in avoiding conventional movie tricks like background music or flashy camerawork, it's this one. Bresson's restraint as a filmmaker serves to keep us in Fontaine's head, blotting out all but his grim determination to escape. When Fontaine murders the prison guard, we don't see it. We barely even hear it. We are watching a blank wall when it happens. But we hold our breaths while it does. Today we think of the prison-break movie genre in terms of films like Stalag 17 (Billy Wilder, 1953), The Great Escape (John Sturges, 1963), Escape From Alcatraz (Don Siegel, 1979), and The Shawshank Redemption (Frank Darabont, 1994), with stars like William Holden, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Tim Robbins, and Morgan Freeman, with action leavened by comic relief and made more tense by grotesque and sadistic guards, and underscored by mood music. What Bresson gives us is a film with no stars that concentrates largely on the face of the man planning his breakout and whose only music is the occasional underscoring with the "Kyrie" from Mozart's C-minor mass. And it works far better than those more famous and conventional movies. *Leterrier went on to become a film director and writer. He made only one more film appearance as an actor, in the small role of André Malraux in Alain Resnais's Stavisky... (1974).

Sight and Sound’s Greatest Films of All Time watch challenge #6 - A Man Escaped, directedy by Rebert Bresson, 1956 (film =95 out of 100)

My first Bresson film, A Man Escaped is the last film in the six-way tie for 95th place on the 2022 Sight and Sound list. Based on the memoir of André Devigny, the film tells the story of a man named Fontaine who was taken to Montuc prison during Nazi occupation of France. Over the course of several weeks, he gradually and carefully puts together a plan to escape, practically piecemealing it as he gains access to new information and new tools.

I can see why Bresson was drawn to this story. He, too, was a prisoner of war at the hands of the Germans. But more than that, Devigny’s story is one of human resilience and ingenuity. Bresson’s filmmaking is relatively minimalist compared to some of the other films I’ve seen on this list so far, with Black Girl, the only other French film so far, sharing similar sensibilities. However, while Black Girl’s minimalism was to highlight the differences between the cultures and the isolation the heroine of the story felt, A Man Escaped’s use of minimalism heightens the tension throughout the film while also giving every single delicate movement of the characters, staging, and camera much more meaning. You can tell that Bresson put so much of himself and his own experiences into this film.

Daniel Wayne, the younger toddler brother of Bruce Wayne and the son of Martha and Thomas Wayne had been kidnapped the night their parents were murdered.

Daniel had been snagged the moment their killer heard people headed to the alley and Bruce in his state of shock didn't realize it until it was far to late and could only scream in horror (from everything) as his baby brother is crying his name. (If you wanna make it even more heart wrenching, make it Danny's first time being able to say Bruce's name right and/or Bruce had said some mean things to Danny earlier after he accidentally broke something of Bruce's, something like 'I wish youd go away' or 'I never wanted a brother, you're such a bother!')

Bruce is being held by Alfred as some police officers are chasing down the Wayne's parents killer while some stay behind to see if they could do something.

Minutes turn to hours and as they wait, praying the police at least found Danny, Bruce is ridden with guilt. From his parents death to allowing his brother to be kidnapped.

Eventually the police return to give Alfred and Bruce the news. And it's not good.

The killer escaped and Danny was nowhere to be found.

And it would take many years before he would be found.

Bruce gets a call from Damian during school hours one day. When he answers he is greeted with Damian demanding him to get to the school and explain himself.

Confused Bruce asks what does he mean and Damian responds with

"The two new students in class today are the spitting images of you and I father! Either they are poorly created clones or you have more hidden blood children!"

-x-x-

Meanwhile the very students being discussed are calling up someone too

"Ellie? Dan? What's wrong? You better not have made too much chaos already, I just paid for the uniforms for that place."

"DAD! I THINK ANOTHER ONE OF THE FRUITLOOPS FAILED CLONES SOMEHOW SURVIVED!"

"What?"
