L'Argent
Directed by Robert Bresson
Produced by Marion's Films, Eôs Films
A bleak, methodical examination of how a single counterfeit note destroys an innocent man's life, indicting a capitalist system indifferent to human suffering.
A forged 500-franc note is passed from person to person and shop to shop, until it falls into the hands of a genuine innocent who doesn't see it for what it is—which will have devastating consequences on his life.
