Either we make history or we stupidly stand in front of it like strangers in front of an alien. GRÖSSERE LEINWÄNDE LÄNGERE HÄLSE, BIGGER CANVAS LONGER NECKS, TOILES PLUS GRANDES, COUS PLUS LONGS will take their parts in the estrangement of mankind. But Realism that reverse the conditions, that decomposes and replaces the social automatics by situations, that will not orientate on them, there is the revolutionary desire, that the order of the world should no longer be violence and control. Realism is the idea, that things are changeable, the world, the film, and me. That is the possibility of possibilities. A brain that flickers, that makes new connections or that goes through bows, that is cinema. A film that flickers, that makes new connections or that goes through bows, that is Thinking.
