_notes on film

  Buñuel is my first deep love in cinema. He is the adult that pulled the plug on the human art of pretending. He blazes through the hypocrisy at the heart of our bourgeois lives mercilessly—no one is sacred, no ideal or moral is spared. He is perfectly modern, bold, and clear. I found myself laughing in joy and amazement. He understands human nature while refusing to sentimentalize it.

  The Oscars are the way that Hollywood’s insiders want to be perceived by the world. [They] are less their view of the industry’s best achievements than of the choice of work that they’d elect to represent them; the awards are the industry’s advertisement for itself.

  And storytelling is the most overrated value and misattributed term in the world of moviemaking and, for that matter, criticism.
