I want you to know that so far only a few of the wars painted here have taken place; yet now that they have been painted, they will occur. He who painted them, prophesied them.
“I really think my films are documentaries. All of them. They are my attempts to get as accurate a representation of seeing as I possibly can. I never fantasize. I have never invented something just for the sake of making an interesting image. I am always struggling very hard to get as close an equivalent on film as I can, as I actually see it.”
