Klossowski was part of Georges Bataille's inner circle. I'm not aware if Bresson ever read Bataille's work, but I always felt a sort of symbolic kinship between the two. Their works both deal with the 'problem' of evil and transgression with a very French sensibility, but coming from radically different places (one was a staunch Nietzschean, the other a dedicated Catholic).

Bergman actually had sex with all his female stars, Bresson merely wanted to. It's the key difference.
