His films, beautifully photographed, are representative of the people and region in which they were made and are true documentaries. When choosing the then unknown Claude Laydu to be the priest in his film, Bresson saw him every Sunday for a year before shooting started to instill into Laydu his concep tion of the character of the priest. Bressons film style and techniques have been compared to those of Carl Th. Dreyer, the Danish di rector, and those of Robert Flaher ty, the American. "Variety," made in Germany and one of the most famous films in the history of the cinema, will be the final offering of the UNC Chapel Hill Film Society's current season Tuesday night. Directed by E. A. Dupont, produced by Erich Pommer and starring Ernil Jan nings and Lya de Putti, "Variety" is a story of backstage life of per formers in a German Music hall with classic, tragic undertones of self -betrayal.
