Talking about women means talking about the darkest part of ourselves, the undeveloped part, the true mystery within. She remains in that precise place within man where darkness begins. It's not just an art form it's actually a new form of life, with its own rhythms, cadences, perspectives and transparencies. For me, it's far closer to the miraculous creation of life than, say, a painting or music or even literature.

I like it because it recreates life in movement, enlarges it, enhances it, distills it. I'm just a storyteller, and the cinema happens to be my medium. I feel compelled to a story the way I see it and this is seldom the way it happened, in all its documentary detail. I confess I would be a terrible witness in court because of this-and a terrible journalist. Yet I view with pleasure the work of film professionals I love, such as Bunuel, Kurosawa, Kubrick, Bergman.Īnyone who lives, as I do, in a world of imagination must make an enormous and unnatural effect to be factual in the ordinary sense. No doubt there's a connection between pathology and creation, we can't deny it. With the death of Sergei Parajanov cinema lost one of its magicians.
