Robert Bresson

Now in paperback, a collection of interviews with a French cinematic titan—covering subjects such as adaptation, the effects of capitalism on art, and the importance of intuition—selected from a period of four decades.

Bresson's highly-regarded book on film theory and criticism, Notes on the Cinematograph, gives readers a peak into the mind of the influential French director. Until now, Bresson's classic of film literature has been rare and expensive. NYRB Classics is thrilled to bring these "notes"--ranging from thoughts on the art of cinematography to the art of life--to a broader audience.
