Born in 1901, Bresson had been working as a screenwriter when WWII broke out; after a year as a prisoner of war, he returned as a director.<\/p>\n<p>Whether because of wartime experiences or his devout Catholicism, Bresson soon soured on the \u201ctradition of quality\u201d then dominant in the French film industry. With\u00a0<strong>DIARY OF A COUNTRY PRIEST<\/strong>, a signature style began to emerge, rejecting the artifice of sets and actors \u2013 though the non-professionals featured were still rigorously rehearsed.<\/p>\n<p>That rigor applied to theme as well as process. Suffering was a given in Bresson\u2019s world, and the burdens borne by the protagonists of\u00a0<strong>PICKPOCKET<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>MOUCHETTE<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>AU HASARD<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>BALTHAZAR<\/strong>\u00a0confer a kind of sanctity that\u2019s independent of religion. If that austere outlook cost him a mass audience, Bresson\u2019s spare filmography \u2013 13 features spanning 40 years \u2013 has a purity that continues to influence filmmakers from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Bresson\u2019s more familiar works, such as\u00a0<strong>A MAN ESCAPED<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>L\u2019ARGENT<\/strong>, our series features his more rarely screened titles including\u00a0<strong>A GENTLE WOMAN<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>FOUR NIGHTS OF A DREAMER<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>LANCELOT DU LAC<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>THE TRIAL OF JOAN OF ARC<\/strong>, as well as rare prints of\u00a0<strong>LES DAMES DU BOIS DE BOULOGNE<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>THE DEVIL, PROBABLY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Click here for more information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americancinematheque.com\/series\/robert-bresson-an-american-cinematheque-retrospective\/?mc_cid=6566f6f84d&amp;mc_eid=8159b43cd5\"><u>American Cinematheque<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":59339,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[219],"app_city_tax":[220],"app_event_type":[239],"class_list":["post-59341","app_event","type-app_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-cinema","app_city_tax-la","app_event_type-film"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Robert Bresson: An American Cinematheque Retrospective at Aero Theatre and Los Feliz 3 - Villa Albertine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/va\/events\/american-cinematheque-presents-robert-bresson-american-cinematheque-retrospective\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Robert Bresson: An American Cinematheque Retrospective at Aero Theatre and Los Feliz 3 - Villa Albertine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Robert Bresson, An American Cinematheque Retrospective Jean-Luc Godard once declared that \u201cRobert Bresson is French cinema, as Dostoevsky is the Russian novel and Mozart is the German music,\u201d and his admiration is widely shared among filmmakers and critics.
