BRESSON (Robert).
Procès de jeanne d’arc. 

First edition. 8vo., 130pp of the full printed screenplay with [51pp] b&w plates of stills from the film, glued into b&w glossy wrapper with flaps, titles printed in bright red. French text. Paris, René Julliard, 1962.

Corners slightly bumped, a little rubbed and one page torn in the centre section. 

A handsome companion to Trial of Joan of Arc, Robert Bresson’s sixth film, made in 1962 starring Florence Delay as Joan. This little book reproduces the screenplay in full, followed by carefully chosen stills acting as a visual synopsis. The simplicity of the book design feels sympathetic to Bresson’s refined auteur style. A short preface by the Director is also included.
