For us music is mainly part of the entertainment world and is often a luxury.
Wim Wenders

So I am getting a little bored with defining one type of film as American and the other European or from somewhere else because the division is no longer true.

The most political decision you make is where you direct people's eyes. In other words, what you show people, day in and day out, is political...And the most politically indoctrinating thing you can do to a human being is to show him, every day, that there can be no change.
