L'Argent

A forged 500-franc note is cynically passed from person to person and shop to shop, until it falls into the hands of a genuine innocent who doesn't see it for what it is - which will have devastating consequences on his life, causing him to turn to crime and murder... Grand prix du cinéma de création at Cannes Festival in 1983, freely based on a novella by Tolstoï, and the ultimate work of one of the greatest French film directors.
