notes on cinematography by robert bresson

Cassavetes on Cassavetes.
Try other ones from this series(based on what director interests you.

Theory of Film, Kracauer

I personally am really interested in Deleuze's two books on Cinema and gonna start reading them soon.

I think there is a big difference between making films, and watching and analyzing films, so pick one and focus on it(but also get a good general grasp of the other).

Is there something wrong with me if I just can't appreciate live-action films?

I have seen barely any, I don't know why, and a few of my friends have been trying to get me into it. They showed me Salo: 120 days of Sodom, Mulholland Drive, The Great Beauty, and The Fire Within.

I like Satie playing in The Fire Within but that was it. All the films I mentioned just seemed oddly empty.

But then I love End of Evangelion..
