Quote of the day

French New Wave filmmaker and critic and his preference for exaggeration.
Notebook

I prefer exaggeration: the careful accumulation of uninteresting elements provokes a certain dizziness, a source of beauty and humor, which allows us to beat the modern world and its henchmen at their own game, to anticipate their absurdity, to disconcert and thus to defeat them.

Luc Moullet (translation by Sandy Flitterman)
