Woga

Cinema? Film, theatre of motion! Motion is life. Real life is authentic, simple and true. Hence, no posing, no sob stories. Neither in films, nor on screen, nor in architecture. Show what is within, what it means, what is sacrificed. Palace façades? Columned entrances for the worldly? Cathedral domes? For what! Turtle roof, protective arches of the slanted roof, slanted in the direction of the projection screen. No Rococo palace for Buster Keaton, no wedding cake in plaster for Potemkin.
