Description
Robert Bresson: A Passion for Film looks at the great filmmakers body of work not only by coming to terms with its thematic preoccupations and the development of its unique authorial style, but also in terms of the ouevres seminal place in the history of film. The filmic rhetoric that Bresson pursued was nothing less than an effort to create film narratives exemplary form, throwing off the conventions of the theater and acting that still dominate mainstream filmmaking. In this respect, Bressons films are no less ground-breaking than those of D.W. Griffith and Sergei Eisenstein, whose formal innovations have been thoroughly explored. Wonderfully written and subtle in its exploration of literary models and source material, Pipolos book is the first full monograph dedicated to Bresson. A thorough portrait, Bressons sources, style, and biography are explored via a chronological investigation of his films, yielding a rich analysis worthy of this master filmmaker.
