The compact, rigorously stylised film and the awkward questions it poses about the nature of forgiveness and the possibility of redemption, is a rich testament to one of cinema’s greatest auteurs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRestored from the original negative and presented in High Definition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eStyle, Anti-style and Influence\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (2022, 22 mins): an on-stage discussion between Geoff Andrew, Jonathan Hourigan and Nasreen Munni Kabir on the films of Robert Bresson.
