(the only quote i remember taping to a wall, back in ohio, was from antonioni about his movie l'avventura:
and here we witness the crumbling of a myth, which proclaims it is enough for us to know, to be critically conscious of ourselves, to analyze ourselves, in all our complexities and in every facet of our personality. the fact that matters is that such an examination is not enough.
)
