Fassbinder and British critic Derek Malcolm went public with their anger that it had not won top prize (it was awarded a Special Jury Prize instead). A work of bleak but stirring beauty, the film traces the last six months in the life of a Parisian youth who, horrified by a world of spiritual and physical pollution, rejects the conventional solutions (politics, religion, psychoanalysis) offered by society. ​“My sickness,” he says, ​“is that I see clearly.” Bresson considered The Devil, Probably to be his most contemporary work; one of his gravest too: ​“I hope with all my heart that the young will deploy all the power of their youth against the massive forces of demolition that are ravaging the world.”
