Poll: Classical Music in Robert Bresson's Masterpieces

A poll by Maxence_G
For most of his career, Robert Bresson utilized classical music (Schubert, Monteverdi, Bach) in the soundtracks of his films. However, later in his career he became critical of its use in film. Despite this, the classical music he did use throughout most of his career has become indissociable from his films.
