Chained to the Cinémathèque

Before familiarity can turn into awareness, the familiar must be stripped of its inconspicuousness; we must give up assuming that the object in question needs no explanation. However frequently recurrent, modest, vulgar it may be, it will now be labeled as something unusual.

It is necessary to confront vague ideas with clear images.

In order to hear a bare sound we have to listen away from things, divert our ear from them, i.e., listen abstractly.

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

Cinephilia is a lack of ambition.
