Robert Bresson

On the anniversary of the birth of the great film-maker Robert Bresson, our friend Shmuel Ben-Gad sends the link to an interview with the director . It’s in French, but subtitled. Bresson directed  Diary of a Country Priest and  The Trial of Joan of Arc among other films.

Here is a page with a few good quotes from Bresson. I particularly liked “The true is inimitable, the false untransformable.” and “The most ordinary word, when put into place, suddenly acquires brilliance.”
