SIMPLICITY PT. 2



"The first generation of filmmakers looked at life, and made films. The second generation watched the films of the first generation, looked at life, and made films. The third generation just watched the films of the first and second generations, and made films. The fourth generation, looks neither at life nor watches the films. We merely go through the catalogues and base our movies on technical capabilities. I don't think cinema needs all these technical tools. A camera, three lenses, and a couple of tripods will do- just like in the early days of cinema... They made their films, with so little."

- Abbas Kiarostami
