"After Bazin, Bazinism continued, but more on the right, with different theories of fascination. Rohmer made no impression on me because he was pontificating and I could make no sense of it. But Mourlet’s text (Sur un art ignore) influenced me as much as Debord’s book (The Society of the Spectacle) did later, and probably for cognate reasons, despite opposed ideologies."

"But of course it was Douchet who got me writing. He didn’t just teach me about fidelity to auteurs (and fidelity tout court) but also what was to be gained from watching a film in its detail, at the risk of interpretative madness. In retrospect, given the dullness of current criticism, that madness no longer seems something to worry about."
