Bressonian Quote #27 - Notes from a Master Filmmaker


"If an image, looked at by itself, expresses something sharply, if it involves an interpretation, it will not be transformed on contact with other images.  The other images will have no power over it, and it will have no power over the other images.  Neither action, nor reaction.  It is definitive and unusable in the cinematographer's system. (A system does not regulate everything.  It is a bait for something.)"
- Robert Bresson
