All our thinking constitutes the new world, but all our thoughts are older and older.
Projection will disappear. And the possibility that was given by motion pictures will be missed. The possibility of there being a real audience - a group of people who have nothing in common, but, at a certain time of the day or the week, are able to look with other nknown neighbors at something bigger than they are. To look at their problems in big. Not in small.
We are all older and more tired.
Photography could have been invented in color. Colors existed.
Truth is in all things, even partly, in error.
I don't think I've succeeded in making any really good films. There are moments, scenes, whole movements that sing. It has all added up to a cinema of sorts, even though I'm still learning my art.
There are different kinds of painting, some with lights and some without, but still if you look at any painting here (in the light) and then over here (out of the light) it's an entirely different thing. The consciousness of this came to the Impressionists and I'm very interested in that.
Living, it can be sad too.
This new world which is being born is cynical and amnesiac. And it has eliminated perspective.
Cinema is capitalism in its purest form.... There is only one solution - turn one's back on American cinema.
I believe what Jesus said, but Jesus never said priests couldn't be fools.
This is not a just image, this is just an image.
The observer and the universe are part of the same universe. It's what science discovered at the beginning of this century, when they say you can't tell where an atomic particle is. You know where they are, but not their speed; or you know their speed but not their place, because it depends on you. The one who describes is part of the description.
Photography is truth.
I think I'm innocently representing a certain belief in motion pictures, and, well OK.
There are two kinds of homeland: one that is given is like a negative, and one that you have to conquer is like the positive.
You can't transmit a landscape, happily enough.
When you are out in the land, OK, you have the land but you are alone with it. And sometimes it is too much.
In Europe, the houses and the apartments are getting smaller. So there is no need to increase the screen because the apartment is becoming smaller.
Reportage is interesting only when placed in a fictional context, but fiction is interesting only if it is validated by a documentary context.
Poetry is a game of loser-take-all.
I make film to make time pass.
Suddenly, I don't know what to say. It happens often to me. I know what I want to say, I think about whether it is what I mean, but when the moment comes to speak, I can't say it. - Nana Kleinfrankenheim, Vivre Sa Vie.
I never read Karl Marx.
What I like in pictures whether by an old director or a young director is when I have the feeling he or she is really using the capacity of film.
