Q: Cinema has ossified...
Henri Langlois: It's not hardened arteries, it's murder. No comparison. Film is being murdered in a marvelous way, like Othello when he snuffed out his wife with a pillow. That way we can't cry murder, because there's no blood.
Q: Can you elaborate?
Langlois: I can't.
Q: It's too complex?
Langlois: No. Everyone will understand.
