But the truth of the image itself is beyond question; regardless of the motivations of the men who create films, and their skill at suggesting connections which metaphysically must not exist, film-making is supremely pure: a recording by the camera of that which stands before the lens, a reality regardless of the subjective interpretations often demanded of us, and usually given freely in return...
