Lancelot du Lac (Robert Bresson, 1974)
Artificial Eye DVD

Subtleties in 2 films by Robert Bresson, with moments of darkness, movement, and soft-focus. Images acquired to test the qualities and durability of 2 new Artificial Eye DVDs. Both DVDs (especially A Man Escaped) are highly superior to the domestic versions, with subtleties coming through very clearly. A Man Escaped in particular was quite pleasurable to watch.
