Most
people want to think life has got some structure, form and that you can
distinguish the past from the future, and the present. I don't think it's
true, I think Fellini admits to that and allows all of these things to
enter into the process. Faces always coming at you - he's got the money,
he's got everything, but he doesn't know what he's doing and everyone's
coming at him. They're all wanting answers. They're all wanting something
from him. I think one of the first times I was really aware of the camera
as a partner in dance, because I think the film is like a dance. He shoots
like a dancer would shoot. It's all moving, it's shifting. Things are coming
in and out of frame. It's never still. It's what life always seems like
to me. It always feels like the passage through life.
I don't know. I think
Fellini just told me things about my future. He told me about the process
of life. He told me things about the process of life. He told me things
about memory that seems true and honest and believable, even though he
lies the hole time. That's what I love about Fellini, he's a liar.
He's a constant liar. He twists and distorts the truth.
Now whether any of us saw the world like Fellini showed us until he actually
made his films I don't know. I have that terrible feeling he opened our
eyes to a world that was sitting there all alone. Those of us who followed
could come and see the world that he saw. |
