Robert Bresson's NOTES ON CINEMATOGRAPHY are working memos that the
great French director made for his own use. In all of them, Bresson
reflects with a craftsman's insight on techniques - and beyond
techniques to their philosophical and aesthetic implications. Not
surprisingly, these acute reflections will not only sharpen a
filmmaker's sensibility, but that of any artist in any medium.
Bresson makes some radical distinctions between what he terms
"cinematography" and something quite different: "cinema" - which
for him is nothing but an attempt to photograph theater and use it
for the screen.
