Robert Bresson won Best Director at Cannes in 1983 for this contemporary revision of Tolstoy's short story. When an innocent prank goes wrong, it becomes the definitive moment in a man's life. A forged 500 franc note is accidentally passed to an unsuspecting young man. Ignorant of its origins, he tries to use the bill but is apprehended for forgery. The severe societal sanctions that ensue prove disastrous for an innocent man who is subsequently led into a life of habitual criminality. This is the third title in The Works Of Robert Bresson collection
