The camera’s a ballpoint pen, an imbecile; it’s not worth anything if you don’t have anything to say.
Roberto Rossellini: Camera’s a ballpoint pen
There doesn’t exist a technique for grasping reality. Only a moral position can do so. The camera’s a ballpoint pen, an imbecile; it’s not worth anything if you don’t have anything to say. To discuss cinema today in strictly aesthetic terms is arid and useless. There’s only a single question: how to awaken consciences? ‘Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains,’ said Rousseau.
Roberto Rossellini
