Revealing My Crush #1573903268

I'd be lying if I said I love Robert Bresson's "Pickpocket" for its Dostoyevskian theme or for all those things for which people worship Bresson. I watch "Pickpocket" for Marika Green and I am not ashamed of it :) The crush may not be jeannemoreauesque in proportions, but still. (Yes, I noted the irony. "Jeanne", Jeanne.)

























(images from this terrific site. The guys running that site also "curate" four sites devoted to Bresson, Ozu, Tarkovsky and Dreyer. On the Bresson site is this page full of posters. Go forth and drool.)

TR: Well, the man's been dead for well over 40 years now :) My town's public library recently acquired all of Ozu's early films, the not-so-well-known ones. Can't wait to start with them.
