I envy you. Every moment

You can leave me.

I cannot

leave myself

lost in translation 2003

ربما انت بحاجة لأن تكون في مرحلة معينة من اليأس لتدرك ما يميز هذا الفلم عن غيره , مرحلة معينة من التنازل عن كلماتك التي لم تعد تؤدي أي وظيفة في ترجمة ما يشعر به من هو تائه و بليد في هذا العالم , كأنه يلتقط شعوراً اكثر حساسية من أن تكون قد لاحظت وجوده سابقاً , هذه الدرجة العميقة من الكآبة التي لا يتدخل فيها أي شكل من اشكال القوة , كل ما فيها هش و ضعيف و مستقر في قلبك بسلام .

I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest film. No lies whatsoever. I thought I had something so simple to say. Something useful to everybody. A film that could help bury forever all those dead things we carry within ourselves. Instead, I’m the one without the courage to bury anything at all. When did I go wrong? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it all the same

Marianne Faithfull

I think drugs were used by me as a way of suppressing my natural spirit

Pier Paolo Pasolini

 If you know that I am an unbeliever, then you know me better than I do myself. I may be an unbeliever, but I am an unbeliever who has a nostalgia for a belief

Au Hasard Balthazar

"Everyone who sees this film will be absolutely astonished, because this film is really the world in an hour and a half

Jean-Luc Godard

Egon Schiele

The Poet

Sylvia Plath

The slime of all my yesterdays rots in the hollow of my skull

Françoise Hardy

Le Temps de L'Amour

Luis Buñuel

I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life

Scenes from a Marriage 1973

Something peculiar is happening. My senses, sight, hearing, touch are starting to fail me. Say this table for example, I can see it and touch it. But the sensation is diminished and dry. It's the same with everything. Music, scents, faces, and voices. Everything seems puny, gray, and undignified

George Frideric Handel

Handel’s autograph score for Lascia ch’io pianga from RInaldo, 1711

The Passion of Joan of Arc 1928

كيف يمكن أن يجبرك فلم على الخشوع ؟ و كيف لك أن لا تخشع و كل مافيه يبحث عن الكمال عن الخلود عن مكان في كل كلمة تستطيع أن تصف بها تجربتك  مع كل تفصيل , مع كل حاسة تنسجم مع حاسة أخرى لتجعله فلماً متكلماً و منصاً إليك , يتحسس  مشاعرك في ملامح و نظرات و صلوات  , كيف لك أن لا تخشع و عيون Maria falconetti تنظر إلى الله في أعمق صورة يمكن أن تكون للنظرة . 

Georgia O’Keeffe

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir 1947

You can be much more alone with other people than you are by yourself, even if it's people you love.

Michelangelo Antonioni

All the characters in my films are fighting these problems, needing freedom, trying to find a way to cut themselves loose, but failing to rid themselves of conscience, a sense of sin, the whole bag of tricks.

Roman Polanski

My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way.
