Both the film and "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" are based on prison escape, but the difference is that the ruthless Bresson planned such a never-say-failure escape hero as early as the 1950s. This is Bresson’s impressive masterpiece at the beginning of his creative career, and since then established his basic style-the combination of structuralism and minimalist realism. The basic structure of the movie is very concise, and the storyline is unfolded in layers of rich and detailed details. In a single prison space, the infinite minds of the characters have been used to break through this confinement time and time again. The audience also experienced the excitement and adventure time after time with the escaped. The meticulous description of the preparation and process of the escape also revealed the choreographer’s attention to details. Attentive.

As for the well-known "The Shawshank Redemption", a lot of space is spent on the living conditions of various people in prison, unlike "Death Row Escape" and "The Hole" are more pure escape movies.

Bresson is known as the "Master of Minimalism", and has a very strong minimalist style in "Pickpocket" and "Death Convict Escape" (I have only seen these two for the time being). Simplicity is no modification or as little modification as possible. The former is the action of pickpockets stealing things, and the latter is the process of escape from prison. The strongest reality is in front of the camera. This witty pursuit of details is an unparalleled experience for the audience. The unpretentious shots, editing, and recurring incidents of side-by-side hits, this direct and graceful contrast, constitute the great interest of Bresson's films.

Le lieutenant Fontaine: [Narrating, after giving his word to the prison warden that he would not try to escape again] Who were we kidding? He certainly did not believe me. As for myself, I was determined to escape at the first opportunity.

Le lieutenant Fontaine: [Narrating, as he and other prisoners go back to their cells after a short break outside] Time to empty our slop pails and run a little water over our faces, then back to our cells for the entire day. With nothing to do, no news and in terrible solitude, we were 100 unfortunates awaiting our fate. I had no illusions about my own. If I could only escape, run away...
