Aphrodite

A young woman named Dinah, who is quite naive and innocent, finds herself in a precarious situation when she is caught stealing from a perfume shop. To avoid serious legal consequences, she agrees to marry a wealthy but morally questionable older man. However, her life takes an even more unexpected turn when she becomes entangled with a pimp and the world of prostitution.

Robert Bresson's final film, 'Aphrodite', was met with a divided critical response, characteristic of many of his works. While some critics lauded its austere and unflinching portrayal of its themes and Bresson's signature minimalist style, others found it to be bleak and less compelling than his earlier masterpieces.

• Bresson's distinct directorial voice is present, offering a unique, if challenging, viewing experience.
• The film's exploration of innocence corrupted and moral ambiguity is stark and thought-provoking.
• Some found the narrative and characters to be distant and difficult to connect with.
