Director
Robert Bresson
Used non-actors he called models and made them repeat takes until all expression was gone, on the theory that the audience would supply it.
Robert Bresson was a French filmmaker. Known for his ascetic approach, Bresson made a notable contribution to the art of cinema; his non-professional actors, ellipses, and sparse use of scoring have led his works to be regarded as preeminent examples of minimalist film. Much of his work is known for being tragic in story and nature.
