"There are cinÃ©philes and cinÃ©phages. Truffaut is a cinÃ©phile. A cinÃ©phage - a film nerd - sits in the front row and writes down the credits. But if you ask him whether it's good, he'll say something sharp. But that's not the point of movies: to love cinema is to love life, to really look at this window on the universe. It's incompatible with note-taking!"

-- Henri Langlois
