Robert Bresson, uno de los directores con mas prestigio del cine frances y europeo, declaro en 1959: "Fui y soy pintor. Llegue al cine para descansar y, al mismo tiempo, llenar un vacio. Pronto vi en el cine un medio apasionante, en tanto que nuevo, de expresion." Esta obra intenta ofrecer un analisis del sistema estilistico de Bresson y, en este sentido, el capitulo titulado "sistema Bresson" da las claves basicas que permiten acceder a lo que es un corpus integrado por un cortometraje y trece singulares largometrajes -analizados minuciosamente por Santos Zunzunegui- todos ellas trabajosamente compuestos a lo largo de medio siglo, desde los anos treinta hasta 1983, fecha en la que Bresson realiza y estrena su ultima pelicula. Este libro ha sido galardonado con el premio de la Asociacion Espanola de Historiadores de Cine 2001.
