Robert Bresson
Let nothing be changed and all be different.
Robert Bresson
Unbalance so as to re-balance.
Robert Bresson

Robert Bresson

Robert Bresson

Robert Bresson
A film is born in my head and I kill it on paper. It is brought back to life by the actors and then killed in the camera. It is then resurrected into a third and final life in the editing room where the dismembered pieces are assembled into their finished form.
Robert Bresson
An old thing becomes new if you detach it from what usually surrounds it.
Robert Bresson
Catch instants. Spontaneity, freshness.
Robert Bresson

Robert Bresson
