Four
Nights of a Dreamer
The 'dreamer' is Jacques, a young painter
who by chance runs into a woman, Marthe
as she's contemplating suicide on the Pont-Neuf
in Paris. They talk and agree to see each
other again the next night. Gradually he
discovers that Marthe's lover promised to
meet her on the bridge that night but failed
to show up. Over the next couple of nights,
Jacques falls in love with her. But on the
fourth night, her lover returns. For director
Robert Bresson, this is a much lighter film
than his usual fare but he turns the story
into a beautiful human meditation on love,
loss and life.
