Vincent Canby wrote in '' The New York Times '' , " that Robert Bresson ... is still one of the most rigorous and talented film makers of the world is evident with the appearance of his beautiful , astringent new film , '' L'Argent '' . ... The film would stand up to Marxist analysis , yet it 's anything but Marxist in outlook . It 's far too poetic – too interested in the mysteries of the spirit . " Tom Milne found '' L ′ Argent '' to be " unmistakably a masterpiece " , noting " the extraordinary apotheosis of the final sequence , " and the " breathless wonderment in the last shot of onlookers frozen as they gaze into the empty room from which all evidence of crime has gone . " Bresson received the Director 's Prize at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival , tied with Andrei Tarkovsky ( who admired Bresson 's works ) for '' Nostalghia '' . '' L'Argent '' was nominated for Best Sound at the César Awards 1984 . It won the 1984 National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Director
