If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet...maybe we could understand something.
Federico FelliniWhen I do things without any explanation, but just with spontaneity...I can be sure that I am right.
Federico FelliniWe can all pretend to be cynical and scheming, but when weโre faced with purity and innocence, the cynical mask drops off.
Federico FelliniI think television has betrayed the meaning of democratic speech, adding visual chaos to the confusion of voices. What role does silence have in all this noise?
Federico FelliniI donโt like the idea of โunderstandingโ a film. I donโt believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasnโt. If you are moved by it, you donโt need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.
