Paul Schrader, 2018
Acclaimed director Paul Schrader revisits his seminal study of transcendental cinema, updating his analysis of slow cinema over the past fifty years. This influential text examines the distinct film styles of Yasujiro Ozu, Robert Bresson, and Carl Dreyer, proposing a shared dramatic language among these artists from diverse cultural backgrounds. Contrasting with psychological realism, transcendental style conveys spiritual states through austere camerawork, unselfconscious acting, and editing that refrains from commentary. This edition expands Schrader's theoretical framework to include contemporary directors such as Andrei Tarkovsky, B'la Tarr, Theo Angelopoulos, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan.
