In this age of consumerism film criticism all over the world - in America first but also in Europe - has become something that caters for the movie industry instead of being a counterbalance.

I heard that Trump said even smelling a book makes him feel tired.

The culture of independent film criticism has totally gone down the drain and this seems to come with the territory of the consumer age that we are now living in.

Filmmakers and critics wrote about each other and sometimes very harshly. This no longer exists.

There are a lot of things that dancers can do that actors cannot and actors can do that dancers cannot.

Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.

The most political decision you make is where you direct people's eyes. In other words, what you show people, day in and day out, is political...And the most politically indoctrinating thing you can do to a human being is to show him, every day, that there can be no change.
