Beskrivning
A philosophical engagement with Bresson’s many films, attentive to more than their religiosity.  Over a forty-year career, Robert Bresson developed one of the most distinctive cinematic styles in the history of filmmaking. Criticizing conventional movies as “filmed theater,” Bresson proposed instead a way of writing with images, which he called “cinematographs.” Robert B. Pippin argues here for a way of understanding how these stylistic innovations express a range of philosophical commitments, explorations of the possible sources of meaning in late modern life, and the implications of the absence of such sources.

Recensioner i media

“This lucid, scintillating book deepens Pippin’s exploration of cinema’s capacity for ‘filmed thought’ and challenges transcendental interpretations of the great French director’s oeuvre. Pippin identifies ethical, psychological, and philosophical commitments that underpin Bresson’s distinctive minimalism, approach to performance, and concern for meaning. Beautifully illustrated and full of provocative insights, there is much here for both Bresson aficionados and those seeking an introduction to the inimitable films and worldview of Robert Bresson.”
