He Who Jumps Into The Void Owes

The World Isn't A Sad Place, It's Just Big.

The Cinema Is Not An Art Which Films Life: The Cinema Is Something Between Art And Life. Unlike Painting And Literature, The Cinema Both Gives To Life And Takes From It, And I Try To Render This Concept In My Films. Literature And Painting Both Exist As Art From The Very Start; The Cinema Doesn't.

I've Always Said That To Make Movies, To Make Images And Sound, Is Possible By One Way Or Another. And It Has Not To Be Ruled By The Pharaohs Of Egypt, The Pharaohs From Hollywood Or Wherever. I Have Tried Very Hard To Make Even A Small Budget Picture Here. It Always Fails. Over A Dozen Times. And Now I Know Why. It Was Only Because I Wanted To Be In Control Of The Money. To Spend It The Way I Wanted.

Now At My Age I Understand How Sad It Must Have Been For Some Directors Or Actors At The Time The Talkies Began. Because, Really, A Whole Continent Disappeared.

Photography Is Truth.
