Question: Which film has the director who died first, Four Nights Of A Dreamer or A Letter From Ulster?

Abhishek Saxena is an Indian Bollywood and Punjabi film director who directed the movie Phullu. The Phullu movie was released in theaters on 16 June 2017, in which film Sharib Hashmi is the lead role. Apart from these, he has also directed Patiala Dreamz, this is a Punjabi film. This film was screened in cinemas in 2014. <SEP> Four Nights of a Dreamer is a 1971 French drama film directed by Robert Bresson and starring Isabelle Weingarten. The film was entered into the 21st Berlin International Film Festival. The film is loosely based on the story" White Nights" written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. <SEP> A Gentle Woman is a 1969 French tragedy film directed by Robert Bresson. It is Bresson's first film in color, and adapted from Fyodor Dostoevsky's short story" A Gentle Creature". The film is set in contemporary Paris. The tragedy is characterised by Bresson's well known ascetic style, without any dynamic sequences or professional actors' experienced and excessive expressions. Dominique Sanda, who plays the titular" gentle woman", made her debut in the film, starting her career as an actress. Bresson chose her just as a result of her first voice call. Although the film applies a background of 1960s Paris, such as Muséum national d'histoire naturelle and Musée National d' Art Moderne, its theme adheres closely to the novella. Bresson subsequently made another adaptation of Dostoevsky, his next film" Quatre nuits d'un rêveur( Four Nights of a Dreamer)"( 1971) based on" White Nights". <SEP> With over thirty films in his filmography, Hurst was Ireland's most prolific film director during the 20th century, and hailed as Northern Ireland's best film director. Brian Desmond Hurst( 12 February 1895 – 26 September 1986) was a Belfast- born film director. He is perhaps best known for the 1951" A Christmas Carol" adaptation" Scrooge". <SEP> Known for his ascetic approach, Bresson contributed notably to the art of cinema; his non-professional actors, ellipses, and sparse use of scoring have led his works to be regarded as preeminent examples of minimalist film. Bresson is among the most highly regarded French filmmakers of all time. His works" A Man Escaped"( 1956)," Pickpocket"( 1959) and" Au hasard Balthazar"( 1966) were ranked among the 100 greatest films ever made in the 2012" Sight& Sound" critics' poll. Robert Bresson( 25 September 1901 – 18 December 1999) was a French film director. Other films of his, such as" Mouchette"( 1967) and" L' Argent"( 1983), also received many votes. Jean- Luc Godard once wrote," He is the French cinema, as Dostoevsky is the Russian novel and Mozart is German[" sic"] music." <SEP> William Alwyn provided music. In 1942, tensions between the US troops and the local population were allegedly being stirred up by propaganda from German spies in Dublin. Hurst's brief was simple- to make a documentary to show that everyone was getting along fine. Brian McIlroy in Chapter 3 of" Re-viewing British Cinema 1900- 1992: Essays and Interviews" explained that" Hurst was able to persuade one Catholic and one Protestant soldier to write letters home, explaining their impressions of their stay. From these letters, Terence Young, the scriptwriter, was able to construct a sequence of activities that revealed the different traditions of Ireland". The film follows American soldiers from the US Army 34th Infantry Division as they train for war and enjoy the local hospitality. The two men who write home about their experiences take a tour of their new homeland in their little jeep and visit St Marys Church in Belfast, Gray Printers in Strabane, Carrickfergus Castle, and Roaring Meg on Derry's walls. They also travel by rail although the railway station seen is not Coleraine as portrayed in the film( even the station master's hat is correct) it is actually Cultra in North Down. They even manage to stray across the border with the South of Ireland towards Glaslough at one stage and are politely turned back. A Letter from Ulster is a 1942 documentary by Ulster- born movie director Brian Desmond Hurst who, along with his lifelong friend Terence Young( scriptwriter) and fellow Ulsterman and Assistant Director William( Bill) MacQuitty, created this film promoting a sense of community between the people of Northern Ireland and over one hundred thousand troops from the US based in Northern Ireland at the time. We also see them in their barracks at Tynan Abbey and undertaking tank and artillery exercises across the rolling landscape of Northern Ireland and the Sperrins can be seen in some footage. The artillery scenes used men from the 151st Field Artillery from Minnesota who, significantly, fired the first artillery shell of US Forces in the European Theatre of War in the Sperrins. The men we see went on to fight in some of the bloodiest battles of World War II including Anzio and Monte Cassino. The film also captures the cartoonist Bruce Bairnsfather( creator of' Old Bill' during WW1) in a brief cameo whilst he was attached to the US Army. His work subsequently appears in the book of cartoons" Jeeps and Jests" which includes a cartoon of Brian Desmond Hurst filming" A Letter From Ulster". In September 2011 Brian Desmond Hurst's relative and biographer Allan Esler Smith produced a short documentary," Revisiting A Letter From Ulster"( directed by Adam Jones- Lloyd), featuring then and now footage and retracing the steps of the men from the 34th Infantry Division. The documentary premiered at the Aspects Festival in Ireland and was run on a loop for five days together with the original" A Letter From Ulster" and is now available to view( see link below). To mark the 70th anniversary year of the US troops arrival in Northern Ireland to prepare for the War in Europe the Northern Ireland War Memorial Museum( Talbot Street, Belfast) screened Brian Desmond Hurst's classic documentary" A Letter From Ulster" throughout September and October 2012. This supported their ongoing permanent exhibition dedicated to the US troops that trained in Northern Ireland during the Second World War.
