and content the inside of style, like the
outside and the inside of the human body.
Both go together, they can't be separated.

but you can't make him think."

decide who will decide issues."

Photography is truth.
- Jean-Luc Godard

The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn't.
- Jean-Luc Godard

The truth is that there is no terror
untempered by some great moral idea.
- Jean-Luc Godard

To be or not to be. That's not really a question.
