"Cinema partakes so much with other arts? it has features of literature, of theatre, it even has a philosophical side to it, attributes of painting and sculpture, and musical elements. [...] But there is something very special in films, which is purely cinematic. When I direct movies, or when I go see movies by other directors, I am looking for that experience". (free translation)
