Transcendental Style in Film

Paul Schrader

Publisher: Da Capo PressFormat: Paperback

The acclaimed director of “Mishima, American Gigolo, Hard Core, Blue Collar, Cat People ”also the screenwriter for “Taxi Driver,” Paul Schrader here analyzes the film style of three great directors—Yasajiro Ozu, Robert Bresson, Carl Dreyer—and posits a common dramatic language by these artists from divergent cultures. Unlike the style of psychological realism, which dominates film, the transcendental style expresses a spiritual state with austere camerawork, acting devoid of self-consciousness, and editing that avoids editorial comment. This important book is an original contribution to film analysis and a key work by one of our most searching directors and writers.
