Notes on the Cinematographer

Robert Bresson makes some quite radical distinctions between what he terms "cinematography" and something quite different: "cinema"--which is for him nothing but an attempt to photograph theater and use it for the screen. <br>Director of "The Trial of Joan of Arc, Pickpocket, A Prisoner Escapes, Diary of a Country Priest, Money," and many other classic films, Robert Bresson is, quite simply, one of the most brilliant cinematographers in the history of film.
