My Period As A Young Teenager When You Really Listen To Music So You Can Get Understand A Little Bit More About What The Music Is Was, Say, 1965 To 1968. I Was Just Lucky To Be In Those Times.

I Haven't Come Across Any Recent New Ideas In Film That Strike Me As Being Particularly Important And That Have To Do With Form. I Think That A Preoccupation With Originality Of Form Is More Or Less A Fruitless Thing.

Others Had Much Better Think Of The Form As Being Some Sort Of Classical Tradition And Try To Work Within It.
