An explanation

As I've posted much earlier, I take pride in keeping myself out of this blog, choosing to let comments be left to master filmmakers. However, I want to take an opportunity to explain something which may have caused some confusi0n.

You're sure to have noticed that Robert Bresson and Werner Herzog are quoted more frequently on here than any other filmmakers. There is a reason for this, aside from the fact they are two of my absolute favorite filmmakers. For the past few months, I have been studying the work of these directors in a self-conscious attempt to learn from them. By December, I will have finished studying both of them. There will continue to be quotations from both throughout the lifespan of this blog, but you will find more quotes coming in from other directors as I do a major focus on their works.

Directors I plan to study in 2010 include Andrei Tarkovsky, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Michael Haneke & Federico Fellini, so starting in January you will see more quotations from them. As I've done this year, I will also be posting snippets from other filmmakers I'm not exhaustively studying as I read interviews with them after watching thier individual films.

I hope you're enjoying this blog.
