detail fanaticism

"Bresson is probably the only person in the history of film who can perfectly integrate pre-formed concepts into finished works..." The

book is adapted from Dostoevsky's Niu X's "Crime and Punishment"

Bresson His video description ability is astonishing, and his fanatical obsession with details makes the whole process of the theft unfold like a stream of clouds. In this film, Bresson almost creates a video rhythm like the beating of a heart~

calm, objective, and restrained.

Coincidentally , this The film was shot in the same year as Godard's "Exhausted" in 1959. However, Bresson, who has always been persistent and persistent, does not seem to be too "tempted" by the new wave, and he indulges himself in rhythm, image relationship, etc. A private road of exploration, this road is clearly outside the trend and time,
and Bresson is still persistent as always,
"silently" doing "his own thing", walking "his own road"

is probably this kind of "unpublicized". "Concentration" and "persistence" are a kind of absolute self-confidence...
Absolutely self-confident~~

    1. The minimalist version [crime and punishment], refers to the salvation of ballet and love. 2. Get away from the environment, no positioning mirrors and long-term view, zero facial close-up, medium and short-range vision level camera position + theft close-up combination is the main. 3. The actor model is turned into a puppet, and the heroine is still extremely beautiful, and the transitions are all folded or faded in and out. 4. The Baroque soundtrack only appears in a few places, to express emotions. 5. With such a minimalist style, the narrative must be supplemented by voice-over and diary to complement the plot to describe the psychology. 6.3 minutes God. (9.5/10)

    A very restrained film, with no extra dialogue, no extra characters, or even extra expressions, but it expresses everything so precisely. Bresson's movie style is very unique. Although I don't like it very much, I have to admit that the master's extraordinary confidence and persistence are so moving.
