About Robert Bresson

While not always transcendent, his work is no less spiritual in it's awareness of the mysterious and irrational forces that govern us. His aesthetics are precise and exact, yet give way to the world of sounds, senses and textures that we live in. In equal turns it can be gentle, ironic, darkly humorous, empathetic, tragic, or cruel - his cinema is not cold or austere, it is ALIVE.
