Favorite quote from Zach Campbell:
“I need experiences like Kentucker
Audley's or Giuseppe Andrew's, like the Raoul Walsh pre-Codes, like the
less-loved work of Zulawski, like the material of John or James Whitney, like
Travis Wilkerson's An Injury to One, like Carmelo Bene's, like Jarman's,
like Nina Menkes', like late Godard, like Kluge, like Andy Sidaris' goofily
violent and sexist T&A-fests, like the Cinema of Transgression (even though
I truthfully don't like it), like Chytilova's, like Zazie dans le metro (and
so much Malle) but also A Thousand Clowns (a film I would have
dismissed haughtily, aged 20), things that cause me to reconsider things and in
the process make something new, deep, or simple ... I need all these things and
more still that I don't even know because I want the cinema to match, reflect,
expand, and condense the whole wide world.”
