I usually don't like using tour de force, but this is a tour de force of cinematography and editing.

Does this film come w/ english subtitles? Or is there a modern film like it? I'd love to see it and understand it

@ThePrinceMyshkin I feel similarly about Malick--after watching The New World or The Tree of Life I look at the world differently. I see light everywhere, and notice the breeze through the leaves, and I feel his films have changed my life. I don't feel quite the same about Bresson--I've never been quite as emotionally affected by his films, but he's certainly a genius and I understand what you mean. I wish I could a Bresson film in a theater.

@bertdockx Definitely! Supersensitive afterward. I first saw Mouchette and afterward I was looking at my hands move to doorknobs and listening to my footsteps. Hated the sound of footsteps before Bresson. Became aware of sound, how they put images in our heads. It would not be insane to say I live completely differently after discovering Bresson. Favorite director, artist, and person. That kind of praise is always bullshit, but I'm serious.

right. apart from the impressive content, you can enjoy his films as pure abstract and brilliant choreographies of sound and image. the sound in particular can really open your ears; after seeing a bresson film (in the cinema especially), i'm in this delightfully hypersensitive state where i'm more aware of the richness of the sonic landscapes that surround us. lovely!
