A Film Is - Or Should Be

Critical Opinion On My Films Has Always Been Salvaged By What I Would Call Subsequent Critical Opinion.

No Philosophy Based On An Incorrect View Of The Nature Of Man Is Likely To Produce Social Good.

If You Can Talk Brilliantly About A Problem

I Haven't Come Across Any Recent New Ideas In Film That Strike Me As Being Particularly Important And That Have To Do With Form. I Think That A Preoccupation With Originality Of Form Is More Or Less A Fruitless Thing. A Truly Original Person With A Truly Original Mind Will Not Be Able To Function In The Old Form And Will Simply Do Something Different. Others Had Much Better Think Of The Form As Being Some Sort Of Classical Tradition And Try To Work Within It.
