But steady-cams are very different than hand-helds, because hand-held gives you that verite feel.
My films are as much concerned with truth as anything in vérité. Maybe more so.
Realism is always subjective in film. There's no such thing as cinema verite
I do not believe in the Cinema verite. Sometimes a really good lie is better than any truth.
Cinema verité is not the film of truth, but the truth of film.
The opposite of what is noised about concerning men and things is often the truth. [Fr. , Le contraire des bruits qui courent des affaires ou des personnes est souvent la verite. ]
There's a real difference between a documentary that was all about facts and history and information. People just don't get as engaged in that kind of documentary - they don't fall in love, they don't cry, they don't forget who they are, they don't ride with you. As we realized we had richer, vérité kind of people, what we wanted to do is focus in on the vérité story.
Exactitude is not truth. [Fr. , L'exactitude n'est pas la verite. ]
La vérité est sur une courbe dont notre ésprit suit éternellement l'asymptote. Truth is on a curve whose asymptote our spirit follows eternally.
