"The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means."

"One of the worst things you can do is have a limited budget and try to do some big looking film. That's when you end up with very bad work."
