Dutch documentarians Leo De Boer and Jurriën Rood detail their fascination with experimental French director Robert Bresson while trying to track down the reclusive filmmaker for an interview. Raised a devout Roman Catholic, Bresson spent part of World War II as a prisoner of war; the filmmakers note how those two experiences shaped his films, and delve into how he created the anti-naturalistic style of films like ''Pickpocket'' through the use of untrained actors and flat line readings.
