画家の卵であるジャックはある夜、セーヌに身投げしようとする少女マルトを助ける。彼女には一年前アメリカ留学に発った恋人がおり、二人が再会を約束したのがその晩だったのだ。青年は苦悶に沈む彼女を美しいと思った。そして、激しい愛の衝動につき動かされながら、努めて平静を装い、彼女の心が恋人から離れるのを望み、そこに罪悪感を覚える。'57年版と同じく、有名なドストエフスキーの悲恋小説を現代を舞台に翻案した、ブレッソンの覚醒した世界観を窺わす痛烈な作品だ。ヴィスコンティのロマンチズムはここになく、青年の盲愛が、彼の習性である思いのたけをミニ・テレコに吹き込むという形で、露骨に顕わになる様が見ていく苦しいほどだ。

貧しい大学生ミシェルは、ふとしたきっかけで、自分にスリの才能があることを発見する。一度は刑事に捕まったものの、証拠不十分で釈放されるや、再び他人の財布を狙い出す。やがてその手口は、仲間を引き込んだ組織的なものになっていった……。「抵抗」では“脱獄”をリアルにスリリングに描いたR・ブレッソンが、今度はその焦点を“スリ”に当てた作品で、実際の手口を紹介しながら、人間不信の孤独な青年の姿を描く。素人ばかりの出演者から生まれるリアリティと、様々なスリの描写によって生み出されるサスペンスが混然となった迫真の傑作だ。
