what is your greatest ambition? to become immortal, then die.

breathless was amazing.

godard is a genius. I can't wait to watch more of his movies, because they apparently get more and more unconventional. He was largely uncompromising in his vision and he had a fascinating theory on blending fiction with real life, creating a psuedo-documentary style movie, in which he obscured the camera so that people didn't know they were on film and he captured life as it was happening in that time and that place. That idea really appeals to me with my work, and kind of feels like the direction I'd like to take.

the funny thing is, he wondered if I would watch breathless and find it dull. terribly boring. and I wondered if I would like simply because I want to like him,

but no, it was joyous to watch and I was fascinated.

I must admit, I was greatly tempted.
