Description

"As a critic, I thought of myself as a filmmaker. Today I still think of myself as a critic, and in a sense I am, more than before. Instead of writing criticism, I make a film, but the critical dimension is subsumed. I think of myself as an essayist, producing essays in novel form or novels in essay form: only instead of writing, I film them. Were the cinema to disappear, I would simply accept the inevitable and turn to televison; were the televison to disappear, I would revert to pen and paper. For there is a clear continuity between all forms of expression. It's all one. The important thing is to approach it from the side that suits you best.
I also think there is no reason why one should not be a director without being a critic first. It so happens that for us things came about the way I described, but this isn't a rule."- Jean Luc Godard
