Misunderstanding. There is (almost) no criticism or praise that does not stem from some misunderstanding. (p. 116)
It was easy to read because it was a short memo. It might be helpful for watching movies in the future.
Books in this category are often neatly wrapped in plastic, so sometimes I buy them without knowing what they contain. Brief sentences... ah, interesting. Since it is a book by Robert Bresson, considered one of the greatest directors, it is worth reading.
The book is really pretty. It's a shame that even though it has a plastic cover, some parts of the cover are stained and dirty.
The collection of short writings by my favorite director is so good. The book is pretty too.
This is a work log written like a diary. It is interesting to read through the eyes of a director.
Bresson’s collection of aphorisms that gives you the courage needed for the adventure and challenge of making a film.
Director Robert Bresson, who left behind nothing but film, recorded his occasional thoughts in his ‘Notes on Cinematography.’ The depth of meaning contained in even a single sentence is so profound that it could be considered ‘poetry’ within the realm of literature.

Robert Bresson: Notes on the Cinematograph
*Notes on the Cinematograph*, the writer's journal of Robert Bresson, considered one of the most important directors in film history, has been published. Although Bresson directed only 13 films in his lifetime, he left an indelible mark on cinema history. Considering how countless films age as soon as they are born, it is remarkable that Bresson's films—which appear to combine extremely ordinary images without famous stars, intense spectacle, or impressive acting—continue to resonate deeply with audiences to this day and are endlessly recalled as a source of inspiration for other directors. *Notes on the Cinematograph* contains everything that shaped Bresson's films, the reflections he honed and refined over a long period while making movies, and the process by which his cinematic aesthetics were formed. Just as Bresson's name is frequently mentioned in film history, this book has been regarded as one of the most important film books among directors, critics, and cinephiles (ranked 2nd on *Sight & Sound*'s list of Best Film Books of 2020). Beyond the field of film, it is cited alongside Van Gogh’s correspondence and Leonardo da Vinci’s notes as an outstanding example of an art theory written by the artist himself. This book is not only the best resource for understanding Bresson’s cinematic world, but will also serve as an important model for young directors and artists seeking to cultivate their own means of expression.
