I Do Believe In [robert] Bresson's Method

I Saw This French Woman, This English Man In Italy. It Was A Film [certified Copy] I Knew Well, But I Had Already Seen It, And I Was Familiar With It, And I Had No Feeling Of Anxiety Or Responsibility Toward It.

I Think Violence Can Never Be Justified. At The Same Time, Nobody’s Culture Or Beliefs Should Be Insulted, That’s Not Something I Can Accept Either. But I Cannot Justify Or Accept Any Violence At All.

The Experience Of Life Teaches Us That Being Like Someone In Love Is More Real, Because Everything Is Uncertain.

What I Am Trying To Say Is That It Is Not Without Any Value. The Value Of Copies Is That They Can Direct Us Towards The Original. I Was Recently At The Louvre Museum And I Was Filming People Who Were Viewing The Mona Lisa. I Noticed The Number Of Ordinary People, Astonished, Mouths Agape, Standing Still For Long Stretches Looking At The Work, And I Wondered, "where Does This Come From? Are These People All Art Connoisseurs?" They Are Like Me; Through The Years, We've Seen This Work In Our Schoolbooks Or Art History Books, But When We Stand Before The Original, We Hold Our Breath.
