Coming to terms with Robert Bresson introduces the life and work of the French film director through contributions from leading scholars, filmmakers and contemporary artists. Drawing on original historical, theoretical and filmmaking research, the book offers a multi-layered account of Bresson's artistic development and working methods. It examines how his films shaped and were shaped by wider philosophical, political and aesthetic debates, and how his distinctive approach to performance, cinematography and form continues to influence contemporary filmmakers and artists. Emphasising Bresson's determination, complexity and unique position in twentieth-century cinema, the book situates his work within broader histories of French film and creative practice. It also considers his continuing impact on mainstream and radical filmmaking, revealing an artist whose sensibilities remain central to debates about film style, authorship and cinematic innovation.
