»Art is merciless observation, sympathy, imagination, and a sense of detachment that is almost cruelty.« - Michael Powell / »I think that a film should have a good story, a clear story, and it should have, if possible, something which is probably the most difficult thing - it should have a little bit of magic . . . Magic being untouchable and very difficult to cast, you can't deal with it at all. You can only try to prepare some nests, hoping that a little bit of magic will slide into them.« - Emeric Pressburger
