En este plano vemos a un hombre bajar unas escaleras y venir hacia una puerta, hacia una oscuridad. Ahora, tras ver la película, al recordar ese plano, al volver a verlo, me parece que ese descenso y esa oscuridad son la entrada a un mundo particular, un inframundo quizás, en cualquier caso >

Um aluno mostrou-me isto numa aula e ainda não o esqueci. Como Jannings troca o peso do corpo com as pernas e os braços a meio do movimento de câmara…

Can you run a society full of people whose overriding goal in life is to avoid thought as much as possible?» adamkotsko.substack.com/p/thought-an...

Les Américains ont poussé très loin l’étude du mouvement continu, de la vitesse et de la ligne de fuite. D’un mouvement qui vide l’image de son poids, de sa matière. D’un corps en état d’apesanteur. […] >

Some of [the Brothers] seemed stern at first, like dons or schoolmasters who’d put their lives in order and meant to keep them that way. [...] Near-identical routines done patiently, day in day out. From the outside the routines can seem impossibly dull and empty. >

Credo che anche nella nostra vita noi oscilliamo costantemente fra stile e maniera, fra ciò che c’è proprio e ciò che è improprio, fra creazione e ritrattazione di noi stessi. Non facciamo che affermarci e ritrattarci. Continuamente ci identifichiamo in un tratto, in un carattere, altrettanto >

O cinema ainda pode coisas.

The plea to listen to what escapes accommodation … a key example of the failure to hear from Yale University’s video archive of holocaust testimonies. Hanna F. is interviewed twice and, in the first recording, describes how she felt alone in the world after twice tricking her way out of Auschwitz.>

Confiar nos filmes em que sabem cair:

The whole affair has something of the dog that caught the car about it: from here, it isn’t difficult to imagine the once distinctive culture […] merging wholesale into the right-wing omnicause. What do you do when you’ve freed speech but all anyone wants to talk about is Tommy Robinson?»

“Of all the forms of abuse, the ones that hurt most deeply. It’s hard to describe why, except to say that it feels like you. [… T]here is nothing you can do about it. Watching a video of yourself being violated without your consent is an almost out-of-body experience.»

The privileged experience possible in cinema is not a matter of using the imagination to stage encounters between things hidden and some deep layer of the conscious mind, but of the movements of things unmistakably visible as they play alongside one another on the surface of the visual field.»

Quem quiser escutar de livre vontade, nos tempos ociosos que lhe restam de vida, a música, ainda por cima em repeat, da longa espera da Linha Saúde SNS 24, tem aqui (1:24-): youtu.be/biwNs6P6bug?... Imaginaria o senhor Boccherini do séc. XVIII que a sua música acabaria como instrumento de tortura?
