3''Le diable probablement'' is a 1977 film by Creator/RobertBresson (its English title is ''The Devil, Probably''). It is set in the millieu of the nihilist Paris students.

5The film is notorious for its use of the non-professional actors who always have blank stares and react to everything with DullSurprise. They also move slowly in a deliberate languid manner. Overall their lives lack sense or direction. They are very young but they appear to have already experienced it all. Nothing can really enthuse them.

10* AmateurCast: You do not see the actors starring here in any other film. All of them don't even have a Wikipedia page bar for one actress whose French page only reports that she participated in this film.
11* TheCasanova: Charles definitely has his way with ladies.
12* CharacterFilibuster: The students are not all apathetic, some of the are ecologic activists and discuss the preservation of the nature at length.
13* DullSurprise: That's how the characters react to pretty much everything.
14* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Charles who does not see any sense in life.]]
15* TitleDrop: A chance bus passenger exclaims "Le diable probablement" while condemning modern youth (of 1977's France)
