Description

In normal cinema, the goal of the director is to control the audience, to direct their gaze, to dictate their emotions.

What does it mean when directors make movies where the audience is allowed to decide what the film means to them?

Legendary filmmaker Paul Schrader (screenwriter of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull; director of Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters and First Reformed) , joins me to discuss his book Transcendental Style in Film: Ozu, Bresson, Dreyer and the democratic nature of slow cinema.
