How should we understand film authorship in an era when the idea of the solitary and sovereign __auteur__ has come under attack, with critics proclaiming the death of the author and the end of cinema? __The Bressonians__ provides an answer in the form of a strikingly original study of Bresson and his influence on the work of filmmakers Jean Eustache and Maurice Pialat. Extending the discourse of authorship beyond the idea of a singular visionary, it explores how the imperatives of excellence function within cinema’s pluralistic community. Bresson’s example offered both an artistic legacy and a creative burden within which filmmakers reckoned in different, often arduous, and altogether compelling ways. With his meticulous approach to craft, formal innovations, and intensely personal style, Robert Bresson was in many ways the prototypical auteur. So how should his oeuvre be understood in an era when the very idea of the lone artistic visionary is continually disputed and deconstructed? In The Bressonians, author Codruţa Morari provides one answer in the form of a strikingly original study of Bresson and his cinematic afterlives. She traces Bresson's influence in the work of French filmmakers such as Maurice Pialat, Jean Eustache, and Eric Rohmer-directors whose aesthetic and thematic motifs were outwardly disparate, but who were united by the "problem" of authorial style they inherited from Bresson.
