Clockwork Universe, Time, Reality and Great Filmmakers
The clockwork universe we were taught about by parents primarily — but importantly by friends and the mainstream voices in the media … does not exist. Sorry.
The best filmmakers know this. That’s why their films are so astounding and soul wrenching. If film is a subversive art, then film by these great filmmakers are subverting the clockwork universe one generation at at time.

Laura (1944)
Laura (1944)
Directed by Otto Preminger
A classic film noir masterpiece.
“Film noir is known for its convoluted plots and arbitrary twists, but even in a genre that gave us The Maltese Falcon, this (Laura) takes some kind of prize … That Laura continues to weave a spell—and it does—is a tribute to style over sanity”

The Hughes Brothers
Albert and Allen Hughes, Filmmakers
(Allen Hughes) “The elements have to be right for us to make a movie. If there’s one personality off in that room and, you know, we’ll bow out gracefully. The material doesn’t speak to us on an emotional level - it can be an action movie, it can be great but, you know, it needs to speak to us.
And there will not be another nine years, but I can guarantee one thing, for me - and I’m sure Albert will agree - is that we’re connoisseurs of life. And in between each movie, we go out of our way to actually observe life and interact with real people. And we don’t live in the buffer zone of valet cars and lunches in Hollywood, this, that and the other. So, I think the movies will get better over time. They won’t get worse.”

Interview with Director Werner Herzog 'I Am Clinically Sane'
Werner Herzog is head of the jury at this year's Berlin International Film Festival. He spoke with SPIEGEL ONLINE about why he agreed to judge the competition, his sanity in an insane industry and why his books will outlast his films.
Question: You have a reputation as something of a lone wolf who doesn't look for external validation in the form of awards. And yet here you are at the Berlinale, heading a committee which is going to judge the competition. What's going on?
Herzog: I admit I had to be kind of persuaded to do this. But I see a lot of sense in taking part. Firstly, I thought it was right to return to the Berlinale with a real duty, as a working member of the festival. (Editor's note: When Herzog last appeared at the festival in 1992, his film "Lessons of Darkness" triggered a furious reaction from the audience .) Also, I do believe it makes sense to give awards to films. Last year a young female director from Peru, Claudia Llosa, won the Golden Bear for her film "The Milk of Sorrow." I believe the award is extremely helpful for this young filmmaker. When I was in Peru not long ago, I saw how it has somehow translated into a certain pride for an entire nation. Of course, the other side of the coin, as I've always said, is that films do not really need awards. Prizes are much more something for the agricultural fair, something you give to the best milk cow.
