About this ebook:
The acclaimed director of Mishima, American Gigolo, Hard Core, Blue Collar, and Cat People , and also the screenwriter for Taxi Driver, Paul Schrader here analyzes the film style of three great directors—Yasajiro Ozu, Robert Bresson, Carl Dreyer—and posits a common dramatic language by these artists from divergent cultures. Unlike the style of psychological realism, which dominates film, the transcendental style expresses a spiritual state with austere camerawork, acting devoid of self-consciousness, and editing that avoids editorial comment. This important book is an original contribution to film analysis and a key work by one of our most searching directors and writers.

Enjoy the ultimate reading experience. We've made it easy for you to discover and access Transcendental Style in Film: Ozu, Bresson, Dreyer by Paul Schrader. Perfect for unwinding at home or reading on the go.
