A wealthy young woman, Anne-Marie Lamaury, decides to follow her vocation and becomes a nun in a convent which occupies itself with the rehabilitation of female prisoners. During a prison visit, she meets another young woman, Thérèse, with whom she starts to take an interest. Thérèse resolutely claims that she is innocent and rejects Anne-Marie’s attentions. When she is released from prison, Thérèse kills the man who committed the crime for which she was sentenced. She then seeks sanctuary in Anne-Marie’s convent but is unable to speak about what she has done. Anne-Marie is nonetheless determined to bring about Thérèse’s spiritual transformation, even if she risks alienating herself from her fellow sisters…

Angels of Sin / Les anges du péché (1943) [Re-UP]

One of the most astonishing film debuts ever, made while France was still under Nazi occupation. Bresson chose an apparently timeless subject: the way that people affect each other's destinies. Based on the real convent of the Sisters of Béthany, a secluded order of nuns are minutely observed in their rehabilitation of women from prison. If the salvation is tangibly close to a Resistance adventure, it is the simple human confrontations that fascinate Bresson - the consuming desire of secure, bourgeois-born Anne-Marie to save the unrepentant Thérèse, wrongly imprisoned for the sake of her criminal lover. Concentrated dialogue (with a little help from Jean Giraudoux) and moulded monochrome photography by Philippe Agostini contribute to an outstanding film. Rarely have the seemingly opposite worlds of the spiritual and the erotic received such sublime, ennobling treatment.

Robert Bresson’s first full-length film contains many of the essential ingredients and themes which would recur time and again in his subsequent works, but it is, at the same time, startlingly different to his later films. The nature of sin, the susceptibility of the human spirit to evil, and the path back to redemption are ideas which underpin much of Bresson’s cinema, and it is interesting to see how the director evolves his approach to these matters in the course of his long film-making career.

Angels of Sin / Les anges du péché (1943) [Re-UP]

For anyone familiar with Bresson’s later films, the most striking thing about Les Anges du péché is that it is a conventional film, made using standard film-making techniques with professional actors. Yet, at the same time, the film bears the unmistakable stamp of its creator, both in the film’s subject matter (the necessity for redemption in spiritual fulfilment) and its directness. In comparison with Bresson’s final film, L’Argent (1980), there are probably more similarities than differences, even though the visual style of the two films could scarcely be more different. Les Anges du péché is perhaps the more complex film, because it deals with the idea of redemption from two quite different perspectives, that of Thérèse and Anne-Marie Lamaury. The sinner and the saint are equally deserving of spiritual renewal, and the fact that both find grace through each other is a typically Bressonesque comment that in human nature there are no absolutes in good or evil.

Contrary to what you might expect from a 1943 movie about nuns in a convent, Les Anges du Peche is fast, intense and gripping. The writing (by a Dominican priest, Raymond Bruckberger) is awe-inspiring; nearly every line of dialogue is a cluster of moral and emotional insights. Explored with great wisdom are themes of conformity and nonconformity, selfishness and selflessness, sin and redemption, love, jealousy and bitter resentment, pride and shame.

I am not sure if I have ever seen as forceful a feature debut as Bresson's. Don't overlook it - it is arguably better than his more well-regarded works.
