Robert Bresson Cinematography

“Bresson presents a collection of fragile and unfortunate existences; most often, they are images of hope and redemption, of real Figura Christi. … It is an element that emerges clearly from Robert Bresson’s cinema, as Vaghese ( Fr. Cibu) remarks: ” Human suffering is a way towards the mystery. Bresson says, ‘ I am only a way to mystery. For him, suffering is the way to have a contact with God ( mystery ). ” – Mons. Dario Edoardo Viganò, Vice Chancellor to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and Social Sciences, Holy See
