"An art form requires genius. People of genius are always troublemakers, meaning they start from scratch, demolish accepted norms and rebuild a new world. The problem with cinema today is the dearth of troublemakers. Thereâ€™s not a rabble-rouser in sight. There was still one, but he went beyond troublemaker to court jester. He clobbered the status quo. Thatâ€™s Godard. Weâ€™re fresh out of â€˜bad students.â€™ Youâ€™ll find students masquerading as bad ones, but you wonâ€™t find the real article, because a genuine bad student upends everything."
