#notes on cinematography

Andrei Tarkovsky and Robert Bresson stand among the great masters of the film world. To immerse oneself in their films is to dive into the depths of what cinema promises and offers as an art form. Likewise, their ideas on film and filmmaking are as profound. Tarkovsky’s Sculpting in Time and Bresson’s Notes on Cinematography are indispensable to the art of cinema. J.M.G. Le Clézio’s words on Robert Bresson apply with equal force to Andrei Tarkovsky as it is true to envision both filmmakers “shining like stars, showing us the simple and difficult path toward perfection.” Read, learn, and absorb these classics of film literature from Bresson and Tarkovsky.
