Time is the motion of the cinema, a time manipulated above all by the city and the mise en scène, violating our perceptions, either by the vertigo of the film or by the and staging, violating our perceptions, either through the vertigo of acceleration, or through the slowing down of languid contemplation of languid contemplation. But it is also a sculpted time, which becomes matter in made more porous by its action. Not the inert buildings, the false cardboard horns not the inert buildings, the fake horns made of cardboard, the streets full of agitation or even the most beautiful landscapes, but the details of the actor's body and in particular of the of the actor's body and especially the areas that register everything. The face, on which the passage of time. The face, on which the step of time - that is, moral thought - finds its most perfect reflection, in the slightest vibration. This time is the true matter of life» Albert Serra
