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 the film, there's this odd theatricality that just didn't sit well with me, and the scenes that are supposed to come across as quite intense and emotional sometimes just felt rather laughable. The story itself isn't bad at all, and some moments remain intriguing despite the overacting. The car ride at the end is one of them.
