NYTimes covers the Mike Nichols retrospective at MOMA. Luminous words from the man himself

“The greatest thrill is that moment when a thousand people are sitting in the dark, looking at the same scene, and they are all apprehending something that has not been spoken. That’s the thrill of it, the miracle — that’s what holds us to movies forever. It’s what we wish we could do in real life. We all see something and understand it together, and nobody has to say a word. There’s a good reason that the very best sound an audience can make — in both the theater and the movies — is no sound at all, just absolute silence.”

    Thats a great quote.

    I am trying to watch all his movies myself. But I’m doing it slowly. Last Month I watched CARNAL KNOWLEDGE. Really great film.
    This week I rented WIT but could not take out time to watch it & had to return the DVD to Library.

    I recommend CARNAL KNOWLEDGE to everybody.
