Cinema Quote by Agnes Varda

“I tried to find a language for the film - not just telling stories. I picked the Picasso painting because it said more than I could explain. I need images, I need representation which deals in other means than reality. We have to use reality but get out of it. That's what I try to do all the time.” quote by Agnes Varda — Download Open image
