It's like entering the woods from a different direction.
I mean, Love... You enter the woods from a new direction each time.
For every new person you love.
You see the old trees in a new light. And you see new trees.
You see more and more trees, and always dream of seeing the whole forest.
Do you know why I direct movies?
Do I talk too much?
I always babble when I'm falling in love.
What happened to cinema is that it suddenly got morals.
It finally got the courage to proclaim itself as cinema and nothing else.
"Film," says Godard, "is truth 24 times per second."
That's to which extent he can commit.
And to Antonioni every choice of camera angles is a matter of morals.
We can no longer make movies with a beginning, middle and an end.
The old cinema was a lie already, through its utmost form.
It claimed continuity.
It told us about an unbroken world that could be perceived in only one way.
Where is that world today?
- Am I holding a lecture? - It's just my arm that's fallen asleep.
No, the truth of today... It can't be extended over time.
Artists can't lay puzzles, because there is no pattern.
What we can do is hold the pieces towards the light.
The pattern you may be able to imagine, then...
It might be the truth...
...or at least a small part of it.
Let me try.
Wait, do it like this.
No, I want to see for myself.
