We have enough reality in our homes. Reality is for newspapers and TV. Look at the result. With so much reality, the country's ready to explode. Reality should be banned.
The Flower of My Secret (La flor de mi secreto), Pedro Almodóvar (1995)
- Women will do anything to avoid being alone. - Women are more tolerant, but that’s good. - We’re assholes... and a bit lesbo.
All About My Mother (Todo sobre mi madre), Pedro Almodóvar (1999)
- You know what my number one fantasy used to be? - What? - I used to think about one day, just not telling anyone, and going off to some random place. And I'd just... disappear. And they'd never see me again. Did you ever think about stuff like that? - I guess I probably did when I was your age. - You know what we should do? We should just get in your car right now, and just drive off. Just find some totally new place and start a whole new life. Fuck everybody. - I'm not in any good condition to drive. - I'm serious! I'm just so sick of everybody. Why can't I just do what I want? - What do you want? - What do you want? Don't you like me?
Ghost World, Terry Zwigoff (2001)
What can be said about the body of the man I loved? Except that pain has a sweetness. Except that, in the shadows were I wander, shadows without desire, Tom’s body remains clear, like the object of desire. And idea, an image, a word: corps.
Documenteur, Agnès Varda (1981)
