<< En fait il met des scenes comme ça, sans reflechir. >>
Eh oui. Comme Greenaway, il pense que le cinéma est mort. Selon lui, l´image importe plus que le sens.
Dans une interview:
<< I would say there has been no cinema yet. Nobody has yet made a film. I think the best we can manage is a version of illustrated literature or recorded theatre. Alain Resnais [the French filmmaker, creator of Hiroshima, mon amour and L´annee derniere a Marienbad], for me, has probably come the closest of any filmmaker to make a film which cannot be manifested in any other art form. I also think that the dominant commercial cinema is extremely conventional, very orthodox, very non-investigative; Scorsese, basically, is still making the same movies as Griffith. But I´m not down-hearted about this, because just around the corner, after a hundred years of this prologue to cinema which we´ve had, is the possibility of at last being able to make pure cinema, with all the new technologies. Virtual reality, the IMAX screen, the whole digital revolution is going to allow us to make actual cinema. You might recall that occasion when Eisenstein, of all people, said to Walt Disney that Disney was the only man that really made films, because the entire filmic universe was created completely within his imagination, and not with reference to the real world. >>
