Question: Which film has the director who was born first, Classe Tous Risques or The Devil Probably?

Known for his ascetic approach, Bresson contributed notably to the art of cinema; his non-professional actors, ellipses, and sparse use of scoring have led his works to be regarded as preeminent examples of minimalist film. Bresson is among the most highly regarded French filmmakers of all time. Robert Bresson( 25 September 1901 – 18 December 1999) was a French film director. His works" A Man Escaped"( 1956)," Pickpocket"( 1959) and" Au hasard Balthazar"( 1966) were ranked among the 100 greatest films ever made in the 2012" Sight& Sound" critics' poll. Other films of his, such as" Mouchette"( 1967) and" L' Argent"( 1983), also received many votes. Jean- Luc Godard once wrote," He is the French cinema, as Dostoevsky is the Russian novel and Mozart is German[" sic"] music." <SEP> It was first released in the United States as The Big Risk. It tells the story of Abel Davos( Ventura), a French mobster who tries to make his way from Italy through Marseille to Paris, hunted by the police, and Eric Stark( Belmondo), who turns out to be the only person willing to help Davos. The film is an adaptation of the novel with the same title by José Giovanni. Now widely considered a masterpiece, at the time of its release it was somewhat overshadowed by the French New Wave. It did however influence the French cinema, especially Jean- Pierre Melville's work. Classe Tous Risques(" Consider All Risks") is a 1960 French- Italian gangster film directed by Claude Sautet and starring Lino Ventura, Jean- Paul Belmondo and Sandra Milo. <SEP> José Giovanni( 22 June 1923, Paris, France – 24 April 2004, Lausanne, Switzerland) was the pseudonym of Joseph Damiani, a French writer and film- maker of Corsican origin who became a naturalized Swiss citizen in 1986. A former collaborationist and criminal who at one time was sentenced to death, Giovanni often drew his inspiration from personal experience or from real gangsters, such as Abel Danos in his 1960 film" Classe tous risques", overlooking that they had been members of the French Gestapo. In his films as well as his novels, while praising masculine friendships and advocating the confrontation of the individual against the world, he often championed the underworld but was always careful to hide his own links with the Nazi occupiers of France during World War II. <SEP> Wale Adebanwi( born 1969) is a Nigerian- born first Black Rhodes Professor at St Antony's College, Oxford. <SEP> Claude Sautet( 23 February 1924 – 22 July 2000) was a French film director and screenwriter. <SEP> It was entered into the 27th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Bear - Special Jury Prize. Besides "Les Anges du péché", it's Bresson's only film not adapted from or based on a previous work. German film director Rainer Werner Fassbinder was on that particular jury, and championed Bresson's film: Robert Bresson's "Le Diable probablement " ... is the most shattering film I've seen this Berlin Festival. I think it's a major film . [I]n the future—and this world will probably last for another few thousand years—this film will be more important than all the rubbish which is now considered important but which never really goes deep enough The questions Bresson asks will never be unimportant." The critic J. Hoberman described the movie with one sentence: A Dostoyevskian story of a tormented soul, presented in the stylized manner of a medieval illumination. The Devil Probably  is a 1977 French drama film by director Robert Bresson.
