Fontaine is not the only “inhabitant” of Fort Montluc. He is surrounded by other prisoners: the priest Deleyris (Roland Monod), the old man Blanchet (Maurice Beerblock), the betrayed Orsini (Jacques Ertaud), and Fontaine’s eventual cellmate and co-escapee, Jost (Charles Le Clainche).
Based on the true story of a Gestapo prisoner who escaped from prison just hours before his scheduled execution, Robert Bresson’s film is a suspenseful realist drama and a moving metaphorical fable about chance and redemption.
