"When most people go to the movies, the ultimate compliment for them is to say 'We didn't notice the time pass!' With me, you see the time pass. And feel it pass. You also sense that this is the time that leads towards death, and that's why there's so much resistance. I took two hours of someone's life." -Chantal Akerman
