If you cant believe a little in what you see on the screen, its not worth wasting your time on cinema. – Serge Daney
In an age of synthetic images and synthetic emotions, the chances of an accidental encounter with reality are remote indeed. – Serge Daney
The media no longer ask those who know something to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it. – Serge Daney
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesnt. – Jean-Luc Godard
