to read: Traumnovelle (Rhapsody: A Dream Novel) by Arthur Schnitzler
Found the Cinema Library at BIFF hill. shhhhh. no backpacks.
“Kubrick is fiercely concerned with the accuracy of the small details that make up the background of his films, because he feels that helps the audience to believe what they see on screen.” viii
“Kubrick sometimes nursed ideas over long periods before he was able to bring them to fruition.” viii
“directing a film can be like trying to write War and Peace in a bumper car at an amusement park, when you finally get it right, there are not many joys in life that can equal that feeling.” p. xii
