Robert Bresson
Quotations
One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.
My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.
Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.
Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing.
Model. Two mobile eyes in a mobile head, itself on a mobile body.
An old thing becomes new if you detach it from what usually surrounds it.
In the NUDE, all that is not beautiful is obscene.
The true is inimitable, the false untransformable.
The most ordinary word, when put into place, suddenly acquires brilliance. That is the brilliance with which your images must shine.
