Quote of the Week: Disappearance of Ambiguity Brings the Arthouse Down




“To be in the hands of an auteur like [Andrey Tarkovskiy],
that would be just brilliant. But I don’t know if those kind of films
can ever be made any more. To get art nowadays, in cinema or books or
anything, that grapples with the possibility of a meaningless universe… it just doesn’t happen any more. In even the most indie of the indie films, everything has to come to some kind of neat conclusion. But that’s part of the problem with politics and history and everything today, that people think there’s a right and a wrong, a good and a bad… maybe there just isn’t . . .”
