Bressonian Quote #25 - Notes from a Master Filmmaker


"The truth of cinematography [filmmaking] cannot be the truth of theatre, not the truth of the novel, nor the truth of painting. (What the cinematographer [filmmaker] captures with his or her own resources cannot be what the theatre, the novel, painting capture with theirs). "
- Robert Bresson



From:  Notes sur le Cinematographe/Notes on the Cinematographer (1975)
