Bressons style is his lack of style. He reshoots each scene 20 times so that all of the acting is drained out of the actors and they look bored. This forces the viewer to draw their own conclusions rather than telling the viewer what to think.
Or something like that.
Needless to say, if you buy into that utter bullshit, you are a mental Amoeba. Bresson commits the ultimate directorial sin of boring the viewer. Lack of style, is lack of style. Sounds obvious doesn't it? Indeed.
