Notes on the Cinematograph is not only his definitive treatise on film--its inherent peculiarity and potential--but an ascetic meditation on how art transcends, and is transformed by, the senses. Bresson upends inherited truths with empirical ones, calling for film to divest itself of the trappings of theater in order to come into its own as an art form. While theater is capable of simulation, film can capture immanent being. Therefore, he argues, the two forms are innately at odds: "No marriage of theater and cinematography without both being exterminated." To this end, Bresson rechristens his actors "models" and conducts them through grueling shoots where they repeat their lines and movements until he deems them vacant of actorly intention and charged, instead, with inscrutability: "A model. Enclosed in his mysterious appearance. He has brought home to him all of him that was outside. He is there, behind that forehead, those cheeks.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Miscellanea. 700 1 $a Griffin, Jonathan, $d 1906-1990, $e translator. 830 0 $a New York Review Books classics. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021014613.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211005011927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A7B1FAECE9E711E69A6025A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
