I believe that the action in film must become — will become — more and more interior. And that what we have understood so far as “motion,” the kind of motion, or movement, we currently seek in films, is nothing more than restlessness.
“I still feel I am looking for the very specific light that is typical and expressive of every feeling and of every epoch, and I still seek the very specific way of representing how time passes — that particular, psychological passage of time that gives a film its style.”
Bernardo Bertolucci
