Light should be used to illuminate a situation, not film stars.


we used to have filmmakers that could have long philosophical conversations with children. now we have eggers telling child actors to eat like a normal person

Introduction by Michael Witt.

If I see a film by Straub or by Godard or by John Ford or Mizoguchi, the moment after it’s super. And then I know I will have more ideas; it’s like feeling that I’m back. I’m sure you feel the same thing. We are here now, super stupid and awful. Then we see this film or read a book, but cinema is more punchy. You think, “I’m back”, “I’m back to myself”, “I’m back in the world I like”, back in the world I feel that could be the world for all of us.
