Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort.
Alexis de Tocqueville
“Gradually I realized that the blanks between the lines are as important as the lines themselves, and we can concentrate on them. For that reason, as I went ahead and made more films, I emphasized on details that the audience doesn’t see but feels are there, even though they’re not in the scene. These details got more and more importance.”
Asghar Farhadi, writer and director of A Separation
