I spent two years of my young adulthood in Paris basically doing nothing but obsessing on cinema. I kept a notebook about everything I saw. I watched almost 500 films. What I most gained from this seminal time period was deep feeling that every style of film (experimental, documentary, shorts, animation, narrative) had an equal place in cinema.

Just for fun -here is one of my favorite short films by Claude Lelouch,

and the opening scene of Orson Wells’ Touch of Evil.
