Notes on the Cinematograph (New York Review Books Classics)
by Robert Bresson
Synopsis
Notes on the Cinematograph distills the essence of Bresson’s theory and practice as a filmmaker and artist.
He discusses the fundamental differences between theater and film; parses the deep grammar of silence, music, and noise; and affirms the mysterious power of the image to unlock the human soul.
This book, indispensable for admirers of this great director and for students of the cinema, will also prove an inspiration, much like Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet , for anyone who responds to the claims of the imagination at its most searching and rigorous.
