Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

L'Argent, directed by Robert Bresson, is a minimalist adaptation of Tolstoy's novella and focuses on the corrosive power of money without shoehorning in identity politics or promoting characters based on demographic boxes. The narrative unfolds organically, prioritizing realism and personal downfall over any ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t try to undermine religion, masculinity, family, or traditional values. Instead, it contemplates personal morality and existential themes in classic European fashion, without modern 'woke' reinterpretations of cultural or historical realities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No woke monoculture on display here. L'Argent is apolitical, with no heavy-handed message about gender, race, or modern ideological trends. The focus is on individual choices and consequences, not on enforcing one worldview or ridiculing alternatives.
