French filmmaker Robert Bresson is perhaps the most revered living film director. Awed, inspired and sometimes mystified by the beauty and austere perfectionism of Bresson’s style, critics and directors have been moved to passionate debate about his unique ideas on the use of sound, actors, editing and music. Robert Bresson is the first collection of essays in English on the director in three decades. A thorough examination of his vision and style, it draws together over twenty important articles by leading critics and scholars; three essential interviews; and the commentaries of over thirty directors on Bresson’s importance and influence.
