This is old news but hasn't been mentioned here: Four Nights of a Dreamer came out in a decent transfer on Blu-Ray in Japan a few years back. Seems it is also on Amazon Prime in the USA (I don't live there so I can't check the quality). But it's nice that this film is out there and looking OK. It can't touch his greatest films, but it certainly should be seen by every Bresson head and the movie premiere scene is great and memorable.

I have Prime for two more days and no, it's not available in the US. :(

Getting into Bresson has been the greatest outcome of watching more old movies at home during the pandemic. Went to LA in September on a few weeks’ notice specifically to watch six of them in the theatre courtesy of American Cinemateque. Country Priest in 35mm and Lancelot in a recent 4K were both incredible, first time seeing each of them. The man was right about acting.

Great to read about Bresson still working his magic on newcomers. I envy you.

Showing Pickpocket to my enthusiastic students in October was one of my premier teaching experiences.

You have a premium-level student subscription level?

SubscriptioN?

Sorry. Was making a bad joke because you said “premium experience.”

FYI, Four Nights of a Dreamer is streaming right now at Le Cinéma Club.
