L’Argent is a simple tale of a complex problem, it’s a cinematic parable meant to evoke a discussion, and to question the actions played out in the film. Bresson’s final film has a note of bitterness to it, similar to Mouchette in some aspects, but much darker and more corrupt; it is a satire of greed, more allegorical than "real"istic. However, I think this film is best enjoyed by Bresson enthusiasts, so beginners to his work should not start here, but rather see it later on after you’ve familiarized yourself with his style and point of view.
