Why are cinephiles so much more inherently mainstream than the lovers of other art forms like music and literature about 2 years ago

Renault: “Music connoisseur: The Beatles and Zeppelin are great, but you should check out these other artists, as well, you might like”

I don’t know what music connoisseurs you’ve been speaking to…

Renault: “Would a level three music fan be pitchfork’s bitch?”

@ Renault, Haha, I dunno. Level 4 would be one of those people who only listen to free-improv, electroacoustic music, onkyo-kei, field recordings and Andean folk music or something like that. I think level 3 people would be those that dip into some of that stuff, but are also more tolerant of more accessible music. I don’t think it works as easily with music fans.

Faye Wong made Chungking Express incredibly difficult to watch.
