Akira Kurosawa (2011). “Something Like An Autobiography”, p.129, Vintage

Something that you should take particular notice of is the fact that the best scripts have very few explanatory passages. Adding explanation to the descriptive passages of a screenplay is the most dangerous trap you can fall into.

Yet it is not impossible.
