Aula 9 (13-12-2010)

Lancelot du Lac de Robert Bresson














“Notes on the Cinematographer”, Robert Bresson.
Ed. Urizen Books, 1977.

“A small subject can provide the pretext for many profound combinations. Avoid subjects that are too vast or too remote, in which nothing warns you away when you are going astray. Or else take from them only what can be mingled with your life and belongs to your experience.”
“Master precision. Be a precision instrument myself.”
“… director. The point is not to direct someone, but to direct oneself.”
“Models. Mechanized outwardly, Intact, virgin within.”
“Unusual approaches to bodies. On the watch for the most imperceptible, the most inward movements”
“The rhythmic value of a noise”
“Against the tactics of speed, of noise, set tactics of slowness, of silence”
“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”
“A locomotive’s whistle imprints in us a whole railroad station”
“The ejaculatory force of the eye”
“One must not seek, one must wait.”
“Let the cause follow the effect, not accompany it or precede it.”
“Be sure of having used to the full all that is communicated by immobility and silence”
“One does not create by adding, but by taking away. To develop is another matter. (Not to spread out.)
“Empty the pond to get the fish”
“Obvious travelling or panning shots do not correspond to the movements of the eye. This is to separate the eye from the body. (One should not use the camera as if it were a broom)”
“Absolute silence and silence obtained by a pianissimo of noises”
“Practice the precept: find without seeking”
“Simultaneous precision and imprecision of music”
“Provoke the unexpected. Expect it”
“See beings and things in their separate parts. Render them independent in order to give them a new dependence”
