This is not a book about cinematography. Cinematography is what Bresson regards as valid film making, as opposed to cinema which is just photographing a play, or the theatre, which is just lies told on a stage (or something). This book contains all the little notes, ideas and bon mots that Bresson jotted down over the years. Some are insightful, most are quite arrogant and dismissive, and quite a few are a bit bonkers. Anyway it's an interesting look into the mind of a master and fairly short (although that didn't stop it from being a pain in the arse to scan).
Originally written in French (Notes sur le cinématographe), this is the English translation by Jonathon Griffin.
