Unless it's done superbly, as in the Japanese film Gate of Hell, color can be a very distracting element.

I like black and white films. I don't exactly know why - probably because there is a stylization which is removed from actual life, unlike a color film.

I have tried to preserve in my relationship to the film the same closeness and intimacy that exists between a painter and his canvas.

Animation is manipulating the difference.

So people will come along and do new things and sometimes return to the spirit of an earlier age.

Well rounded forms gives smooth sounds; sharper or angular forms give harder and harsher sounds.

Take a film of Jacques Tati like Mon Oncle which has something quite new - for me, unique - in it.
