“Directors like Satyajit Ray, Rossellini, Bresson, Buñuel, Forman, Scorsese, and Spike Lee have used non-professional actors precisely in order that the people we see on the screen may be scarcely more explained than reality itself. Professionals, except fo the greatest, usually play not just the necessary role, but an explanation of the role.” PeopleMayPlayRealityUsedOrderActorsActingRolesDirectorsScreensExplanationRaysScorsese Book:Selected Essays of John Berger Source: Selected Essays of John Berger

“Among today's directors I'm of course impressed by Steven Spielberg and Scorsese, and Coppola, even if he seems to have ceased making films, and Steven Soderbergh - they all have something to say, they're passionate, they have an idealistic attitude to the filmmaking process. Soderbergh's Traffic is amazing. Another great couple of examples of the strength of American cinema is American Beauty and Magnolia.” IfsSeemsTodayFilmCoursesProcessAttitudeExampleCoupleDirectorsPassionateCinemaFilmmakingImpressedTrafficIdealisticScorseseMagnolias Author:Ingmar Bergman
