Jean Rouch quotes
-
“I look at the human sciences as poetic sciences in which there is no objectivity, and I see film as not being objective, and cinema verite as a cinema of lies that depends on the art of telling yourself lies. If you’re a good storyteller then the lie is more true than reality, and if you’re a bad one, the truth is worse than a half lie.”
-- Jean Rouch -
“Cinema verité is not the film of truth, but the truth of film.”
-- Jean Rouch -
