"I don’t want it good, I want it Tuesday." Jack Warner
For my style, for my vision of the cinema, editing is not simply one aspect: it's the aspect. The notion of "directing" a film is the invention of critics like you [Cahiers du Cinema]. It isn't an art, or at best it's an art only one minute a day. That minute is terribly crucial, but it occurs very rarely. The only time one is able to exercise control over the film is in the editing. The images themselves are not sufficient. They're very important, but they're only images. What's essential is the duration of each image and that which follows each image: the whole eloquence of cinema is that it's achieved in the editing room. Orson Wells
