Hype is the awkward and desperate attempt to convince journalists that what you've made is worth the misery of having to review it. - Federico Fellini

I don’t like the idea of “understanding” a film. I don’t believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn’t. If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.

Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected.

There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.
