Women Are A Finer Filter

I Began Taking Liberties A Long Time Ago; Now It Is Standard Practice For Most Directors To Ignore The Rules.

A Particular Type Of Film Emerged From World War Two, With The Italian Neorealist School. It Was Perfectly Right For Its Time, Which Was As Exceptional As The Reality Around Us. Our Major Interest Focused On That And On How We Could Relate To It. Later, When The Situation Normalized And Post-war Life Returned To What It Had Been In Peacetime, It Became Important To See The Intimate, Interior Consequences Of All That Had Happened.

The Family Today Counts For Less And Less. Why? Who Knows - The Growth Of Science, The Cold War, The Atomic Bomb, The World War We've Made, The New Philosophies We've Created; Certainly Something Is Happening To Man, So Why Go Against It, Why Oblige This New Man To Live By The Mechanisms And Regulations Of The Past?

When I See Nature, When I Look Into The Sky, The Dawn, The Sun, The Colors Of Insects, Snow Crystals, The Night Stars, I Don't Feel A Need For God. Perhaps When I Can No Longer Look And Wonder, When I Believe In Nothing - Then, Perhaps, I Might Need Something Else. But I Don't Know What.
