“If you hear the word that ties you to another human being, do not listen to any others that follow—they are merely its echo.” As in Pickpocket (1959), in Les Anges Bresson traces the “long route” by which such a tie may lead to redemption. Anne-Marie's project of saving Thérèse, conceived before she even meets her, ultimately succeeds but only via a tortuous path: Thérèse's revenge for false imprisonment with real murder, Anne-Marie's disruption of and expulsion from her order, her alienation, even torment of Thérèse, and ultimately her own death. This route to Anne-Marie's saintly fulfilment and Thérèse's transformation passes through continually ambiguous terrain, in which will, destiny, and chance become indistinguishable, and in which saintliness and criminality not only work side by side but mingle: as Roland Barthes observes, “Throughout the film, we have felt that Good was not so separate from Evil, that between these two powers there were certain espousals, so to speak, which united them to the point of creating a homogenous substance, as in life itself.”
Thematically characteristic though it is, Les Anges remains unquestionably more conventional than Bresson's later work. It is talkier, more eloquent, than the later films, which tend to neutralize dialogue in favor of more specifically filmic rhetoric (elliptical editing, for example). In keeping with this, the acting style is also distant from Bresson's later requirements
However distant from his later work it may be, Les Anges du péché remains not only recognizably a Bresson film, but one of great power.
