Soleil O (Med Hondo, 1967)

"We had our own civilization. We forged iron. We had our popular dances and songs. We were very good at sculpting wood and working iron, spinning cotton and wool, weaving and basketwork. Our commerce wasn’t just barter. We made gold and silver coins. We had pottery and cutlery. We made our own tools and domestic utensils, using brass, bronze, ivory, quartz and granite. We had our own literature. We had our legal terminology, our religion, our science and our teaching methods."

I know that acting has enormously enriched and rendered more concrete my relationship to writing and to my actors but I cannot precisely explain this relationship. My experience working with Claire Denis on 35 rhums has particularly affected me. I wouldn’t know where what she conveyed to me begins or ends. It’s huge. Claire is just as captivating as her films, as beautiful, as secretive.

"I think the human face is the most beautiful landscape. The face tells you everything. It’s the only way to get to the truth because, most of the time, the words we say are not true… I don’t like puzzles. But in real life, we have to deal with half of reality, and we have the habit, or the reflex, of guessing the rest—because we’re always lying to each other; everybody’s protecting himself. If the audience doesn’t join in the process, it’s impossible to make it deeper, like literature." — Nuri Bilge Ceylan
