Schrader's Durational Map v. CCC

 

In 2018, Paul Schrader published a map for Durational Cinema at large (see his original diagram here), and in particular for what he theorized in 1972 (Transcendental Style in Film), i.e. spiritual cinema around Ozu, Bresson and Dreyer.

I produced a counter map for Durational Cinema here, also in 2018.

Today, this illustration represents the Venn diagram of TSF (Transcendental Style in Film) and Durational Cinema (as seen by Schrader) crossed with the filmmakers promoted on this blog (CCC = Contemporary Contemplative Cinema)

We notice that only 4 auteurs (Akerman, Kiarostami, Sokurov and Gus "Death Trilogy" Van Sant) are both considered TSF and CCC. The rest is out of bound (beyond the Tarkovsky ring, see his map) in black against purple background, or ignored completely (in white against purple)
