Hi Olivier

 

I mean that before the film was made, it didn't exist. I'm not saying it's 100% original, and I'm not talking about novelty, you know, just that she made it. It is an act of creation. Which is on a different planet from criticism.

 

I get where you're coming from with our culture's "obsessive will for novelty", but it's a different place from where I'm coming from.

 

For me it still takes guts to make something, to create something. In the context of our western civilisation where it's absolutely cool to buy things & to subscribe to lists like this which fetishize consumer products like CDs (like the recent "how big is you CD collection" strand!), it's too easy to diss the makers, the artists, because they make something we don't happen to like.
