Designo ergo sum

Un condamné à mort s'est échappé; ou, Le vent souffle où il veut (A man escaped; or, The wind blows where it will)

(1957)

Triumph of the resistance will: a French prisoner of the Nazis, condemned for blowing up a bridge, meticulously plots his escape, manufacturing chisels, ropes, and hooks from the sparse furnishings of his cell. Inasmuch as the title spills the outcome, the point is not the escape itself but the painstaking process, as well as the very fact that Fontaine (François Leterrier) never considers not escaping. Written and directed by Robert Bresson, based on André Devigny's memoir.
