These are ways to live: food, clothing, shelter. Within our daily preoccupations, films have gone beyond depicting: Soviet politics in Cuba, family psychoanalysis, Asian history. Rather we have continued living with it: rediscovering overlooked movies, shooting a ten-hour film in the span of a decade, recreating a war zone for a war movie. Food, clothing, shelter, cinema. These are also ways to die.
