Classic French romantic drama written and directed by Robert Bresson. After being rejected by her lover, Jean (Paul Bernard), Helene (Maria Casares) seeks revenge by humiliating him. She persuades prostitute Agnes (Elina Labourdette), the daughter of her friend Madame D (Lucienne Bogaert), to go out with Jean, who she knows will fall in love with her. (Artificial Eye)

In that shot, there is such strange theatrics that simply didn't sit well with me, and the scenes that should sound quite intense and emotional seemed somewhat funny to me at times. However, the story itself is not bad at all, and there are moments that are still interesting, despite the overacting. Driving off in the car at the end is one of them.
