Bresson's Last Masterpieces
Revered for his austere style and spiritual depth, Robert Bresson continues to influence contemporary filmmakers like Paul Schrader, The Dardenne Brothers, Michael Haneke, Andrea Arnold, besides many others. In what’s considered by some to be his final trilogy, Bresson confronts themes of disillusionment and the relentless pursuit of meaning amidst societal decay. Film scholar and former CIA president Grafton Nunes will introduce each film, offering insights into Bresson’s unique approach and enduring legacy.
