In thirteen features over a forty-year career, he held to an uncompromising moral vision and aesthetic rigor that remain unmatched. \u003cem\u003eRobert Bresson: A Passion for Film\u003c\/em\u003e is the first comprehensive study to give equal attention to the films, their literary sources, and psycho-biographical aspects of the work. Concentrating on the films' cinematographic, imagistic, narrative, and thematic structures, Pipolo provides a nuanced analysis of each film-including nearly 100 illustrations-elucidating Bresson's unique style as it evolved from the impassioned \u003cem\u003eLes Anges du péche\u003c\/em\u003e to such disconsolate meditations on the world as \u003cem\u003eThe Devil Probably\u003c\/em\u003e and\u003cem\u003e L'Argent.\u003c\/em\u003e Special attention is also given to psychosexual aspects of the films that are usually neglected. Bresson has long needed a thoroughgoing treatment by a critic worthy to the task: he gets it here. From it emerges a provocative portrait of an extraordinary artist whose moral engagement and devotion to the craft of filmmaking are without equal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTony Pipolo \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor Emeritus of Film and Literature at the City University of New York.
