Quote by Robert Bresson
My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated

My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water. – Robert Bresson
