Loved The Brood and Belle de Jour. But I'm afraid I hated Lancelot du Lac. I got what he was trying to do, but I just didn't like what he was trying to do.

Do you like other Bresson films? I thought Lancelot was one of his best.

I read the book for Belle De Jour before I watched the movie, I was sort of distracted by how much the movie butchered the book, looking past that the movie was good.

I'm afraid I disliked Lancelot du Lac so much I've avoided his other movies.

Yeah if you dislike that one that much you'll likely dislike all of them. They all have the same style, if you want to give him another shot you might try Pickpocket, it seems to get the best response from people new to Bresson.

Yes The Beyond is one of my favorite films (although I slightly prefer City of the Living Dead). I've never watched the edited version, Seven Doors of Death, before. With its missing several gore scenes and a new weaker score, its not as good as The Beyond
