Jean-Luc Godard on why he didn't like the movies of David Lynch:
"Ah, I really don't like his style at all. Lynch's dreams only speak of him. In my opinion, in his films, there are beautiful images, from a photographic point of view, and yet the image has disappeared. On the enigma of the dream, the oneiric of life, I prefer to read Edgar Poe.
I have nothing against dreams. It's part of yourself. I don't know if it should be used for making movies. What matters, I would rather say, is the derivation and observation of the world. The New Wave came from the desire to accept fiction through documentary. In my opinion, the two can only go together."
