In Paris in the early 1970s, the dramatic life of Charles, a young man who finds himself in the midst of a rapidly deteriorating environment and an increasingly alienated society, unfolds. The film by Robert Bresson, known for his profound look at existential themes, paints a portrait of an individual searching for meaning in a world characterized by ruthless progress and an inability to communicate. Despite his efforts to find solace in various relationships, Charles plunges into a deep depression. His desperate search for a way out finally leads him to a shattering decision at the historic Père Lachaise cemetery. The film, which is known for its intense exploration of themes such as suicide and social apathy, was awarded the Silver Bear at the 1977 Berlinale. The story shows Charles' journey through a world marked by ruthless environmental destruction and personal suffering. His encounters with various representatives of society - from psychoanalysts to drug addicts - reflect the broad spectrum of human despair. Robert Bresson, known for his minimalist style and use of non-professional actors, weaves real-life environmental disasters and personal tragedies into a powerful critique of modern society in THE DEVIL, PROBABLY. This film remains an impressive testament to Bresson's ability to explore profound emotional and social issues.
