The film was set in [[Paris]] at the time. | ||
| - | The tragic drama is characterised by Bresson's well known ascetic style, without any dynamic sequences or professional [[actors]]' experienced and excessive expressions. [[Dominique Sanda]], starred as "a gentle woman", made her debut in the film, starting her career as an actress. Bresson chose her just as a result of her first voice call. | + | '''Dominique Marie-Françoise Renée Varaigne''' (born 11 March 1948), professionally known as '''Dominique Sanda''', is a French actress and former fashion model. |
| - | The film opens with a flowing curtain, implying a young woman's [[suicide]]. Her distraught husband explores in flashbacks what led her to kill herself.
