A Lot Of The Themes Of My

I've Always Wondered Where Explanations End And Excuses Begin.

You Can Talk About A Caption Underneath A Photograph Being True Or False, Because There Is A Linguistic Element. You Can Claim That A Photograph Is A Picture Of A Horse Or A Cow, But It Is The Sentence That Expresses The Claim, Which Is True Or False, Not The Photograph.

Truth Is A Pursuit, It's A Quest. And Proof Is Certainly In The Pudding In This Particular Instance, Because The Film, And The Evidence Accumulated In Making The Film, Led To This Man's Release From Prison. And That's Hardly Ever Happened, If It's Happened At All, In Any Other Film That I Can Think Of.

My Films Are As Much Concerned With Truth As Anything In Vérité. Maybe More So.

You Can Ask Yourself, If A Film Makes A Claim, Is The Claim True Or False? Having Said That, A Style Of Presenting Material Doesn't Guarantee Truth. There's This Crazy Idea That Somehow You Pick A Style, And By Virtue Of Picking The Style, You've Provided Something That Is More Truthful. It's As If You Imagine That Changing The Font On A Sentence You Write Makes It More Truthful.
