Movie Description
This early work from French master filmmaker Robert Bresson offers a moody, poignant depiction of a scorned woman's attempt to manipulate her ex-lover. The treacherous Helene (Maria Casares) financially supports Agnes (Elina Labourdette), a young dancer with a "bad reputation." Helene plots to make Jean (Paul Bernard), the man who recently broke up with her, fall for Agnes--and then reveal to him the "secret" of Agnes's tawdry past. Jean easily takes the bait, but Agnes isn't willing to play along. Agnes finally responds to Jean's overtures, as Helen lies in wait, eager to expose Agnes's past and wreck Jean's life.

This is Bresson's second feature film and the last in which he used professional actors and shot in a studio.

LES DAMES was a commercial failure when first released, but subsequently acquired a very positive reputation when shown in retrospectives, thanks to the success of Bresson’s later films and appreciative articles on the film by major French critics (including later filmmaker Francois Truffaut).

Bresson and Cocteau based their screenplay for LES DAMES on an incident in Denis Diderot’s JACQUES LE FATALISTE.

Begun before the Liberation of France from the Nazis, the film was temporarily abandoned for a few months, and then shooting began again, from scratch.

Editorial Reviews
"...A masterful, highly accessible collaboration between Jean Cocteau and director-screenwriter Robert Bresson..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (04/21/1995)

"...This 1945 melodrama positively seethes whenever impossibly beautiful Maria Casares, as a remarkably perverse scorned woman, is onscreen..."
Premiere - Premiere Staff (06/01/2003)

"[With a] near-noirish lustre..."
Uncut - Damien Love (10/01/2004)
