THE FUTURE OF CINEMA IS SLOW

"i prefer the films that put their audience to sleep in the theater. some films have made me doze off in the theater, but the same films have made me stay up at night, wake up thinking about them in the morning, and keep on thinking about them for weeks." - abbas kiarostami
