Italian film director.
"He helped inaugurate the Neo-realist cinema movement, but he soon developed his own distinctive style of typically autobiographical films."
Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real.
A different language is a different vision of life.
What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one. It's this in-between . . . this frontier country between the tangible world and the intangible one -- which is really the realm of the artist.
All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster's autobiography.
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.
