这篇访谈的原文题目采用了布莱松的这样一句话：“我寻求的不是对事物的描述（une description des choses）而是对事物的视像（une vision des choses）。”在法文中，vision的基本意思是“视觉”、“看法”、“想象”、“影像”、“幻觉”等等。或许在布莱松的心目中，“描述”注重对事物的照相式摹写，“视像”则注重艺术家本人的主观感受。布莱松向来强调直觉在艺术创作中的重要作用，不喜欢像照相机那样地描述事物。这篇采访做于1983年6月，即影片《金钱》参加完戛纳国际电影节之后，采访地点是在布莱松居住的圣·路易岛。本文译自《正片》杂志1996年第12期。 The original title of the interview uses Bresson’s phrase: “I seek not an description of things (une description des choses) but an une vision des choses.” In French, The basic meaning of vision is “vision”, “perception”, “imagination”, “image”, “illusion” and so on. Perhaps in Bresson’s mind, “description” focuses on photographic depictions of things, while “visual” focuses on the artist’s own subjective feelings. Bresson has always emphasized the important role of intuition in artistic creation, and does not like describing things like a camera. This interview was made in June 1983, after film “Money” took part in Cannes International Film Festival and was interviewed at St Louis where Bresson lived. This article is translated from the “positive” magazine 1996 the twelfth period.
