Vast and grand, monumental

I look at the internet as the new radio. I look at the radio as gone.

Orson Welles by Eve Arnold. 1966

Clarity, completeness, quintessence, quiet. No noise, no schmutz, no schmerz, no Fauve schwärmerei. Perfection, passiveness, consonance, consummateness. No palpitations, no gesticulation, no grotesquerie. Spirituality, serenity, absoluteness, coherence. No automatism, no accident, no anxiety, no catharsis, no chance. Detachment, disinterestedness, thoughtfulness, transcendence. No humbugging, no button-holing, no exploitation, no mixing things up.

Trailer for “Damsels in Distress.” The fourth film by Whit Stillman.
