Robert Bresson

Philippe Arnaud's book analyzes Robert Bresson's unique and influential "cinematographe" – a method where meticulous control at every stage of filmmaking paradoxically allows for chance and the real to emerge, creating a profound and revelatory viewing experience for the audience. The book explores this enigma through concrete examples of Bresson's work, from screenwriting to casting and the films' content, supplemented by collaborator testimonies and a complete filmography.
