Robert Bresson

Highest Rated: 100% Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne (1945)

Lowest Rated: 75% Angels of Sin (1943)

Birthday: Sep 25, 1901

Birthplace: Bromont-Lamothe, Puy-de-Dôme, France

Bresson originally pursued a career as a painter but turned to film in the early 1930s, gaining his first experience as a script consultant on "C'etait un musicien" (1933), directed by Frederic Zelnick and Maurice Gleize. In between other, unexceptional assignments as a screenwriter, he made a medium-length film, the long-lost "Les Affaires publiques," in 1934. During WWII, Bresson was a prisoner of war from June 1940 to April 1941--an experience which profoundly marked his subsequent work in the cinema.
