More than aything I think he's a filmmaker of moments. Not saying his films don't hang together as a whole but, like the others, I find certain scenes in Country Priest ... not even scenes, but moments within scenes, like the priest's vague, almost imperceptible smile while riding on the motorcycle, another of those true hallelujah moments that Bresson alone seemed capable of.
"It seems to me that [Bresson] is the only director in the world that has achieved absolute simplicity in cinema. As it was achieved in music by Bach, art by Leonardo. Tolstoy achieved it as a writer." - Andrei Tarkovsky
