With the simplest of concepts and sparest of techniques, Robert Bresson (Au hasard Balthazar) made one of the most suspenseful jailbreak films of all time in A Man Escaped. Based on the memoirs of an imprisoned French resistance leader, this unbelievably taut and methodical marvel follows the fictional Fontaine`s single minded pursuit of freedom, detailing the planning and carrying out of his escape with gripping precision. But Bresson`s film is not merely process-minded - it`s a work of intense spirituality and humanity.

This is a black and white movie
