- More about The Bressonians: French Cinema and the Culture of Authorship
The Bressonians explores how the imperatives of excellence function within the pluralistic community of cinema, extending the discourse of authorship beyond the singular visionary. It offers an original study of Bresson and his influence on Jean Eustache and Maurice Pialat, providing both an artistic legacy and a creative burden for filmmakers.

Publisher: Berghahn Books
In the face of mounting criticism that challenges the notion of the solitary and sovereign auteur, the notion of film authorship is being reevaluated in an era where the death of the author and the decline of cinema are being proclaimed. The Bressonians offers a fresh perspective on this issue through an insightful examination of the work of filmmakers Jean Eustache and Maurice Pialat, highlighting the influence of French director Robert Bresson. By expanding the discourse of authorship beyond the confines of a singular visionary, the book explores how the demands of excellence operate within the diverse and complex community of cinema.
Bresson's example serves as a valuable reference point, offering both an artistic legacy and a creative challenge that filmmakers have approached in diverse and often arduous ways. The Bressonians sheds light on the complex interplay between individual expression and the collective forces shaping the cinematic landscape, providing a rich and thought-provoking exploration of film authorship in the modern era.
