Key quotes
· 4 pulledDarling, I recently watched The Quiet Girl – a lovely film until the last 2 minutes in which the director gave up the ghost, retreating in disarray and defeat.
People, if you are going to be artistic, then you need to have a vision, manifest your vision and make sure your vision is complete.
Finish your work, then let the people judge it as a comprehensive entity.
Watching the ending of such movies when directors throw up their hands bereft of ideas and utterly vanquished is like a designer spending hours beading and draping a gown, then leaving the hem unfinished.
