THE AUTHOR IS DEAD
To everyone who has been wondering and has kept on asking me why I do not give concrete explanations regarding my films, this excerpt from a great filmmaker basically defends my belief.
"While I cannot let myself be concerned with what people think and say about me personally, I believe that reviewers and critics have every right to interpret my fillms as they like. I refuse to interpret my work to others, and I cannot tell the critic what to think; each person has the right to understand a film as he sess it. Either he is attracted or repelled. A film is made to create reaction. If the audience does not react one way or another, it is an indifferent work and worthless." -Ingmar Bergman
The author is dead indeed.
