Le Petit Soldat. Jean-Luc Godard, 1961/63
We say we do this and that. It's all hot air. Usually we do nothing, and if we happen to do something we're horrified, because it's never what we expected.
Détective. Jean-Luc Godard, 1985
Emma. Autumn de Wilde, 2020
The Long Gray Line. John Ford, 1955
And you can't turn your actors into statues. Impossible. Even if we have precisely defined positions, which they discover for themselves, you have to leave a margin of movement otherwise we would be there, screwing them to the ground, moving their feet and driving nails into them...
Jean-Marie Straub in Pedro Costa's Where does your hidden smile lie?.

Zig~Zag, Raúl Ruiz. 1980
Had they been meant somehow for the long jammed and crawling hours of flight from the City, something inspirational to look at, to assure them all in a way not immediately clear it is not the end, or there is still hope ... ? was it only some travel game for the kids, to keep them occupied, to pass the time till the sudden light from behind, the unbearable sight in the mirror?
Vineland (pg. 252), Thomas Pynchon. 1990
