More things are obscure than one imagines... the other day I spoke
about Wajda (in relation to the composers he used), to mostly blank
faces. The great Polish school is "obscure" in some places. I am very
interested in these Suzuki films, which I have not seen. As to the
Japanese who have never seen a black and white film, that, if true, is
a sign that something is terribly wrong. Yes, excuse the melodrama,
but that's what I think. And the neglect of the nonimmediate past is
downright criminal. That is how we lost three quarters of all silent
films.
Imagine if something like were to happen in literature...
Best,
