French film director
POPULARITY
Robert Bresson makes a prison escape film is the sort of premise that we cannot help but fall for, particularly as A Man Escaped (1956) is also our favorite sub-genre of crime film: the criminal procedural. While we really fell in love (sort of) with the "full Bresson" of Au hasard Balthazar or Mouchette, both a decade later, A Man Escaped takes Bresson's style into a genre we weren't expecting, and it is perfect.
SEASON 2 - EPISODE 139 - Camera Movement - with Tom Cross & Ed Lachman In this special episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, editor Tom Cross (Season 1, Episodes 129 & 139) and cinematographer Ed Lachman (Season 1, Episode 77 & Season 2, Episode 132) return to join us in a discussion about camera movement. From Douglas Sirk's sweeping camera moves to Robert Bresson's measured stillness, the four of us bring up examples of when camera movement (or its lack thereof) affects us, and we discuss why we believe choosing when and how to move the camera all comes down to what feels emotionally right for the story. When our conversation inevitably turns to 1917, we reflect on the variety of camera moves within the “single shot” of the film, and we discuss how the contrast of a camera move that diverges from a film's established language can more appropriately express character and a beat within the story. Ed also shares the unique method of filming practiced by studio era director George Stevens, and Tom reveals how he and director Damien Chazelle (Season 2, Episode 23) restitched the roaming camera move of the opening musical number in LA LA LAND. Throughout the episode, we draw on our own experiences as filmmakers and from our observations on a myriad of films across film history, and the conversation evolves to cover the relationship between editing and cinematography. A big thank you to Ed and Tom for coming back to talk with us! - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Profoto

Gabriele Pedullà"Il trascendente nel cinema"Paul SchraderMarietti1820www.mariettieditore.itLa domanda che sta all'origine di questo libro è molto semplice: in che modo è possibile (ammesso che lo sia) portare sullo schermo il completamente altro, il divino? A distanza di oltre mezzo secolo dalla sua prima pubblicazione, l'acclamato regista e sceneggiatore Paul Schrader rivisita e aggiorna la sua riflessione sul cinema lento degli ultimi cinquant'anni. L'analisi dello stile cinematografico di tre grandi registi – Yasujirō Ozu, Robert Bresson e Carl Dreyer – si arricchisce di un nuovo quadro teorico, offerto dal pensiero di Gilles Deleuze sul cinema e sulla fenomenologia della percezione attraverso il tempo, espandendo la teoria alle opere, tra gli altri, di Andrej Tarkovskij e Béla Tarr. Con una prosa chiara, l'autore insegna a lettori e spettatori a guardare con occhi nuovi alla cinematografia d'autore, in un'opera che - come sostiene Gabriele Pedullà - non è soltanto «un acuto studio critico» dei capolavori del passato, ma un vero e proprio «manifesto per un cinema diverso»: «un grande classico che continua a tracciare strade, aprire porte, scavare gallerie, costruire ponti che aiutano tutti a pensare più liberamente».Prefazione "Il trascendente nel cinema" a cura di Gabriele Pedullà.Paul Schrader (Grand Rapids - Michigan 1946), critico cinematografico, sceneggiatore di capolavori come Taxi Driver, Toro scatenato e L'ultima tentazione di Cristo, ha diretto film indimenticabili come American Gigolò e First Reformed. Ritenuto uno dei protagonisti della New Hollywood, nel 2022 ha ricevuto il Leone d'oro alla carriera. Il 16 gennaio 2025 è uscito nei cinema italiani il film da lui scritto e diretto Oh Canada - I tradimenti, con Uma Thurman e Richard Gere.Gabriele Pedullà (Roma 1972) insegna Letteratura italiana presso l'università di Roma Tre e scrive per «Il Sole 24 Ore». Autore di diversi libri di saggistica, tra cui il recente On Niccolò Machiavelli: The Bonds of Politics (Columbia University Press, 2023, in corso di traduzione per Einaudi), con Sergio Luzzatto ha curato l'Atlante della letteratura italiana (Einaudi 2010-12). Presso Einaudi ha inoltre pubblicato le raccolte di racconti Lo spagnolo senza sforzo (2009, Premio Mondello Opera Prima; Premio Verga; Premio Frontino), Biscotti della fortuna (2020, Premio Super Flaiano) e Certe sere Pablo (2024), e il romanzo Lame (2017, Premio Carlo Levi; Premio Martoglio).

In this episode, we explore the stark yet deeply affecting world of Robert Bresson through two of his most powerful films: Mouchette (1967) and L'Argent (1983). Known for his minimalist style, nonprofessional actors, and spiritual themes, Bresson crafts haunting portraits of human suffering and redemption. We break down the tragic innocence of Mouchette, a tale of a young girl's quiet descent, and L'Argent, his final film—a chilling meditation on money, fate, and morality. Join us as we unpack Bresson's unique storytelling, his signature use of sound and image, and why these films remain as hauntingly relevant today as ever.https://linktr.ee/silverscreenvideoThanks for stopping by.

For this month's EUROPEAN VACATION we got a lot of French features. They love their movies and we love movies so it all works out. Today we break the seal on Robert Bresson with his 1959 classic “PICKPOCKET” starring Martin LaSalle and Marika Green. The strange Michel is very driven into relieving people's wallet weight and is so intent on it that it seems to overtake his life and his relationships. He even takes from his dying mother. The police chief suspects him but has no proof. His friend likes the girl in his building but, somehow, this innocent girl's heart belongs to the man who does things she finds immoral. Also in this movie? Pickpocketing. Seems obvious given the title but this movie is very informative. The pickpocket advisor quit after working on this movie because he said he gave away all his secrets. I don't think the meatheads on lower Broadway here in Nashville have seen Robert Bresson's “PICKPOCKET” so let's get down there and see what we can squirrel up with the education this movie provides. If I get locked up? No big deal. That's how you get the girls. They like a strange pickpocket man with a vacant stare. ADHD hyper focus scores again.

Throughout his fifteen-year moviemaking career, director and actor Benny Safdie has been drawn to naturalism and first-time performers. Fittingly, his recent collaboration with comedian Nathan Fielder (“Nathan for You”) was a perfect match. Benny joins us today to discuss their satirical black comedy series The Curse (9:10), the timely premise that inspired the show (13:35), and Safdie's history of capturing real-life personalities on film (15:58). Then, he describes his early connection to the 1979 movie Kramer v Kramer (19:00), a New York encounter with photographer Robert Frank (23:18), and how directors Robert Bresson and Frederick Wiseman opened his eyes to the possibilities of street casting (26:05). On the back-half, we dive into Benny's co-directing work alongside his brother, Josh Safdie (29:55), a heartbreaking scene from their debut feature Daddy Longlegs (34:30), and the projects that followed: Good Time (40:00), Lenny Cooke (42:45), and Uncut Gems (55:00). To close, Safdie talks about why he worked as a boom operator while directing (48:15), his recent pivot to acting (52:35), and his full circle moment of playing an astrophysicist in Oppenheimer (1:00:40).

Over the course of his career, but mainly in a period from 1950-59, French director Robert Bresson kept a notebook of advice to himself on keeping his very distinct filmmaking technique. In 1975, he published Notes to the Cinematographer, which was then translated and published in the United States two years later. In 2011, a Sight & Sound poll of 51 critics named it the second best book on filmmaking. On this episode, I'm joined by editor Keith Fraase.Keith Fraase has edited such narratives features as To the Wonder, Knight of Cups, Song to Song, Chappaquiddick, and A Mouthful of Air, along with the documentaries Voyage of Time and Long Strange Trip. His most recent edited film, Celine Song's Past Lives, is one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2023.Robert Bresson's Notes on the Cinematographer is current published in the U.S. by the New York Review Book (under the translated title Notes on the Cinematograph).
On this episode of Recommend or Refute, John tells us a story about the unhinged Little Red Riding Hood movie Freeway (1996), Ryan admirably manages to make zero in-law jokes during his review of the new comedy The Out-laws (2023), and Dixon fans the flames of interest around Robert Bresson's The Trial of Joan of Arc (1962).
On the thirty-sixth episode of the Cinematic Odyssey, Tristen and Max unpack the documentarian effort of French director Robert Bresson in his acclaimed A Man Escaped. Packed with minute details and patient unease and suspense, both hosts respect the effort to make the film as realistic as possible to the memoir it was based on, as well as true human physicality. Max makes a series of absolutely horrible comparisons between this film and pop culture of today, while Tristen remains in awe of every shot and each poignant detail. They both are able to come away with the knowledge that this film is more than just an escape: it's about trust, hope, and the human spirit to fight on and keep living.
On this episode of the Movie Vault, Zach and Ben go way back to the mid 1950s and review Robert Bresson's prison escape classic "A Man Escaped".

We did it, folks. Dixon finally got us to talk about the inimitable Robert Bresson. Join the Afterthoughts crew as we discuss his biggest commercial success, the thrilling prison break masterpiece A Man Escaped (1956). We dive into Bresson's one-of-a-kind filmmaking style, his technical mastery, and his ability to build tension like no director before or since.
In March this year, we went to Finsbury Park in London to the home of Phyllida Barlow to interview her for the A brush with… podcast. Tragically, Phyllida died just a few days later. So this conversation is a tribute to one of the most significant British artists of recent years. Ardently committed to sculpture and convinced of its special power, she was coruscatingly erudite and perceptive, yet also irreverent and suspicious of orthodoxies. This was evident in her combinations of simple materials such as wood, plaster and scrim, cement, paint and fabric in extraordinary sculptures and installations. She managed to achieve at once awkwardness and grace, humour and pathos, the grand and the intimate. Among much else, Phyllida discusses the morality imposed on sculpture in her art school days, the underacknowledged “dirty side of making” in Marcel Duchamp's work, her admiration for Louise Nevelson and Eduardo Chillida, the writing of Fyodor Dostoevsky and the films of Robert Bresson. Plus she answers our usual questions, including a moving response to the ultimate question, “What is art for?”Phyllida Barlow, Chillida Leku, Hernani, near San Sebastian, Spain, until 22 October; The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Toronto, 8 September-4 February 2024.

A principios de los 50, Robert Bresson parece haber experimentado una intuición clave, que no sólo lo convirtió en un gran cineasta sino que alteró su forma de ver el mundo: en su intento por adaptar el Diario de un cura rural, la novela de Georges de Bernanos, usó los fundamentos del neorrealismo como punto de partida para crear una suerte de poética esencialista y un método fílmico que le permitiera atrapar la experiencia de lo humano. Bresson no estaba solo en esta cruzada; tras la posguerra cineastas como Rossellini, Dreyer, Ozu, Antonioni y Bergman avanzarían en esa misma dirección, pero ninguno de ellos pudo moldear algo como la historia de este joven y enfermo sacerdote que, destinado a una pequeña localidad de Bretaña, se enfrenta a la desidia de sus habitantes gastando las últimas energías que le quedan, condenándose a sí mismo, buscando una gracia que alcanza a avizorar desde muy lejos. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.
A fines de 1959, cuando Pickpocket llegó a los cines, la guerra entre los jóvenes realizadores de la Nouvelle Vague y los veteranos realizadores del "cinema de qualité" estaba declarada. De inmediato fue evidente que Bresson y su filme no cabían en ningún bando. Pickpocket no se parecía a las "viejas películas", pero tampoco a las nuevas. Sinceramente, parecía arribada desde Marte: tomando prestada la premisa establecida por Dostoievsky en Crimen y castigo, el relato de Michel —un joven sin presente ni futuro que decidía enseñarse a sí mismo la profesión del carterista, como medio de sustento pero también de desprecio hacia los otros— no era exactamente un relato moral ni objeto aleccionador o en clave de denuncia. Bresson filmaba el mundo de su protagonista (las calles, los interiores, los rostros, las manos) de una manera frontal, física; sin agenda, sin trasfondo sicológico. Ni siquiera hablaba de sus protagonistas como actores: los denominaba "modelos, tomados de la vida. SER (modelos) en lugar de PARECER (actores)." El resultado era un nuevo tipo de película, una nueva forma de acercarse al cine, a la imagen. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.
Jackie and Greg get locked up with Robert Bresson's minimalist prison-escape classic, A MAN ESCAPED from 1956. Topics of discussion include Bresson's cinema of hands, how it compares to other jailbreak films, where it falls within his filmography, and why it's a magical pairing of filmmaker and subject matter.#69 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/polls/greatest-films-all-time-2012#95 on Sight & Sound's 2022 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list. https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-timeCheck us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sceneandheardpodCheck us out at our official website: https://www.sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtPhotography: Matt AraquistainMusic: Andrew CoxGet in touch at hello@sceneandheardpod.comSupport the showSupport the show on Patreon: patreon.com/SceneandHeardPodorSubscribe just to get access to our bonus episodes: buzzsprout.com/1905508/subscribe
Beast of Burden: Robert Bresson's Au Hasard Balthazar - WatchThis W/RickRamos This week finds Mr. Chavez and myself continuing our dive into films with great reputations and few viewings. Bresson's 1966 French Classic, Au Hasard Balthazar, looks at life through the eyes of a donkey as it moves through the world being loved, abused, championed, worked, and - finally - sacrificed. A touching and beautifully story about humanity told in a profoundly emotional manner. As Mr. Chavez says, "I challenge someone to watch this movie and to be like, 'Well It's just about a f****** stupid donkey.'" There's so much more to unwrap, and for true fans of Cinema (and World Cinema in particular), Bresson's story is about the struggle found in purpose, love, and suffering. This is a truly beautiful film that has found legions of fans since its release over sixty years ago. We are proud to present Au Hasard Balthazar on this week's episode. Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many & Continued Thanks.
Nick finally gets Mike to watch the new donkey movie, EO: a new interpretation of an old classic they both love: Au Hasard Balthazar. Two special guests join the hosts: Jackie and Ryan. The group talks interpretation of EO and the barrier to entry to Bresson's minimalist directing style. Does EO deserve a place on the Mount Rushmore of film donkeys?

Producer: Luke Mulhall
Today I want to talk to you about an animal who has, over the centuries, gone from exalted to vilified. ...an animal many people have never met but one who has been much maligned and humiliated on film, in literature, and in our language. ...an animal who is affected by the daily choices we make but who is invisible in many ways. ...an animal you may never think of, an animal you wouldn't think would be part of the animal agriculture business. ...an animal I hope you have the privilege of meeting someday. Today I want to tell you about the burden of burros and the plight of donkeys and explain why they mean so much to me and why they represent all animals at the mercy of humans. In this episode, I also share two films about donkeys, Au Hasard Balthazar by Robert Bresson — one of my favorite films of all time — and EO by Jerzy Skolimowski, a film inspired by Balthazar and packed with as much power as its predecessor. A version of this episode originally aired in 2007 but was in much need of an update. This is not just a rebroadcast; it is a re-worked and re-recorded episode about these magnificent and misunderstood animals. ------- Support this podcast today at Patreon.com/ColleenPatrickGoudreau Visit my website: JoyfulVegan.com Join me on an all-inclusive vegan trip: JoyfulVeganTrips.com AFFILIATE PARTNERS: Nama Juicer — Use this link and coupon code COLLEEN10 and get 10% off my favorite juicer.
