One of the most beautiful things about your shorts is that they reconnect with black and white.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It’s funny that you tell me about it, I had an appointment two days ago with Fred Elmes, the cinematographer of Eraserhead<\/em>, which we shot with Double-X black and white film. There is the +X, the double X and the tri-X. Fred told me we only do Double-X, my favorite. It is simply exquisite. The black and white is so sublime. (He pauses suddenly and for a long time, his voice begins to tremble). You can go back in time more easily with black and white, you can… visit another world. One day, we had sent a magnificent copy of Eraserhead<\/em> to Deauville. The film was shown late at night, during a session with proper dress required, people came to sit in tuxedos in this brand new cinema which was at the forefront of technical refinement. A Frenchman whose name I have forgotten told me: “On the screen appeared your film, Eraserhead.<\/em> But it was not black and white. It was black and silver… It was so beautiful. The colors of the crowd matched those of the screen.” I pictured myself this evening, and I can still see it… And those people in tuxedos, it’s the pinnacle of elegance. That’s what a screening should be: a party with lots of people in tuxedos. It’s such a treasured tradition.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
