“I’ve often wished to wake again, to be born again, to feel once more the joy, the sorrows, everything. But this would be too harsh or too dangerous for the man I have become. This doorway to happiness that comes in my dreams can only be, I fear, that of death.”
Wasted Breath, Jean Eustache,
Fragments from an abandoned script.

”For the first time, I feel like I’m seeing a bit more clearly. First of all, parallel to the “erasing” that I tried to do from film to film since the beginning, I wanted to be “revolutionary,” in other words to not make steps forward in cinema, but to try to make big steps backwards to return to the source. The goal I was trying to attain since my first film was to return to Lumière… I’ve always been against new techniques. Maybe I’m “reactionary,” but I believe it’s “revolutionary.”
