A Man Escaped is a 1956 French prison escape film directed by Robert Bresson who made one of the most suspenseful jailbreak films of all time!  The movie follows slowly and quietly the day of the prisoner who's to be executed and plans an escape. But Bresson’s film is not merely about process—it’s also a work of intense spirituality and humanity.  It is remarkable that most of what happens takes place in Fontaine's cell ( François Leterrier ) . There is no emphasis on the faces, on the uniforms of the Nazis, but there is an emphasis on the soul of the protagonist, on the voices of the prisoners, the film is a psychograph, an introspection into the spirit, into our desires and our strengths...  The character is based on a postwar memoir by André Devigny, who escaped from Montluc on the very day he was scheduled to die.  #jailbreak #jailbreakthemes #warmovies Similar Posts  Key Largo , 1948 The Asphalt Jungle, 1950  In the Lonely Place, 1950 ...
