Both Brecht and Bresson were enemies of "illusionism". Brecht wanted the actor to "report" to the character, not to be the character. Emphasizes that actors do not have to conceal the "he does, he says" nature in their performances. "The effect of alienation" is the core of Brecht's dramatic...

How did he do it? ! The film conveys a very complex emotion. The entire movie is said from the beginning to be based on preserved court records. The scene is simple, but there is extremely complex information. When the clergy who sympathized with her persuaded her, she thought of the firmness of...

The rigid picture of Joan of Arc's trial may explain one thing, that is: human tragedies often befall people in banal ways. There is no drama, no accusation or justification. Some are just dull and silent. In fact, this is the theme of Bresson's middle and late works - judgment and loneliness....

Zhuangzi once said in "Journey to the North": "There is great beauty in heaven and earth without talking about it, there are clear laws in the four seasons without discussing them, and everything has a rationale without talking about it". It seems that in the later fables, there are two masters who...

Bazin once wrote a long article devoted to the sound and image in Bresson's films, but he still couldn't enjoy it after reading it. The film itself is also a way to explore the truth. Just like novels and poetry, he is only the original sound and image of human beings. The two most basic elements,...

Dreyer's Joan of Arc is more sacred and dramatic, which I think is in line with an imagination of Joan of Arc in his time. In my opinion, it is a stronger expressionism and represents one of the highest artistic achievements of silent film. And Bresson's Joan of Arc is more three-dimensional, more...

At first, I thought Bresson's work was more primitive. There is no timeline control like "The Pickpocket" and "The Diary of a Country Prisoner", and there are not a lot of close-ups in "Dead Man Escape". The trial clips are almost all long shots, and a few shots back to prison are similar. What I...

After so many years, I am afraid that Joan of Arc under the lens of Bresson still cannot be surpassed by the later image.

Before going to see this movie, I first watched "Joan of Arc" filmed in Canada in 1999. It was a big movie I saw when I was a child. Lily Soboski, who lost her long hair by the...

On Wednesday, I watched a movie at the "Present Image Living Room" in Xiamen. The movie shocked me no less than Diary of a Country Priest. After watching the movie, I discussed a lot, which was very interesting.

The film materials have historical prototypes, and a series of dialogues in the...
