The Prayer by Leslie Marcus
The most ordinary word, when put into place, suddenly acquires brilliance. That is the brilliance with which your images must shine.
*
Neither beautify nor uglify. Do not denature.
*
Silence, musical by an effect of resonance. The last syllable of the last word, or the last noise, like a held note.
– Robert Bresson, Notes on the Cinematopgrapher
