|
 Author: Robert Bresson Size: 16 x 21 | Index: I. 1950-1958 | The book contains notes hanging from the legendary French director in a period between processing Diary of a Country Priest (1950) and that of Lancelot and Guinevere (1974). Although dispositio follow a strictly chronological sequence, the text does not is very readable as an autobiographical account of his artistic maturity, because each film inherited from Cartier - from the point of view of style - is perfectly identical to the others (see Chapter Bresson in Transcendental style in film P. Schrader) the author can not give you an image of crystallized, mapping their unshakable principles underlying the corpus of works in a quarter century. Bresson, therefore, uses pen and paper to gloss the text film: stimulated by the creative work on the set, the metteur en scène reflects on the film medium and his "language" (no This, after all, the obsession of every theorist of cinema?). not expected, however, the relentless logic of reasoning Eisenstein. Surprisingly enough, the "filmmaker subtractive" Bresson adopts the literary form of accumulation: aphorisms (precepts or invective) and soaring lyrics are the instruments of mystical thought that consistently prefer the suggestion to demonstratio . In essence, Notes cinema is a poetic manifesto whose tenets are repeated with such passionate persistence to transform the theory (c) a film in the cinema liturgy (1) . Michael Guarneri (1) "Cinema" in the literal sense of "writing with moving images and sounds" . |
