Robert Bresson

“Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing.”

Jean Cocteau (July 5, 1889 –- October 11, 1963)

“It is the unique power of cinema to allow a great many people to dream the same dream together and to present illusions to us as if it were strict reality. It is, in short, an admirable vehicle for poetry. My film is nothing other than a striptease act, gradually peeling away my body to reveal my naked soul.”
