It's weird that I posted this, because nearly a year later, I don't agree at all! But, I guess he was talking about certain DPs/directors resorting to unnecessary tricks...
"Nothing is worse than the abuse of technical devices: diffusers, telephoto lenses, slow motion, etc. When they have nothing interesting in front of the camera, many directors resort to tricks. Fortunately, Rohmer doesn't need such affectations. Limits have a great deal to do with style. When there are no limits, there is no style.'

I love slow motion and I hate dp's all douches...they can be geniuses and improve a pic but they all think they're saviours and gods and whatnot....and yes i love the fact that Rohmer does so much with so little...and i quite agree with "When they have nothing interesting in front of the camera, many directors resort to tricks. " but then is there anything more debatable than "interesting things in front of the camera"? what is interesting?
