Enigma. "For my own blood to flow ages through, for steady warmth and a haven safe and true, I’d give my life self-willingly and freely, had not its volatile, needle-like sword been leading me, like a thread, throughout the world."

That film, I thought, was one of the very rare American films that I would compare with the serious, intelligent, sensitive writing and filmmaking that you find in the best directors in Europe."
