Did you know
âą Based on the short story 'White Nights' by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
âą This was the final feature from Robert Bresson to receive a restoration.
âą As with most of his later films, Bresson cast non-professionals. Guillaume des ForĂȘts (Jacques) and Isabelle Weingarten (Marthe) were not established stars. Bresson had them repeat scenes many times to strip away theatrical expression, aiming for what he called "models" rather than actors.

A beautiful, haunting film
The weakest Bresson feature in my opinion.
