Robert Bresson
Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne  
A tale about a society woman who tricks her former lover into marrying a prostitute. This was a little on the dull side.
Lancelot du Lac Zero
Is this a joke? I really don’t know where to start with this. An opening that tops Monty Python and the Holy Grail in terms of cheese, complete with limbs getting hacked off and the sloppiest blood sprays you’ll ever see ( note the hose attached to & pumping blood from the hilt of the swords). Once it settles down Bresson keeps the camera at an absurd low angle as any movements are focused on the actors feet, legs & ass. Even worse is when they ride on the horses as the camera stays on the trunk of the horse & the riders legs. The actors looked & acted as bored as I was, the cinematography was just plain ugly, action sequences are reused and looped together, sloppy editing, etc, etc, etc.
This really is an awful film.
With 4 more Bresson films on the list I'm not sure I can endure any more, unless they are worlds better than LDL.
