"I regret the advances in film stock. Technical perfection can only create boredom. Imagine we are able to perfectly recreate a forest with cinema. We can see the thickness of the bark of the trees. There will be machines to emit the subtle odor of moss. What will happen? People will ride a scooter to a real forest and not to the movies. Why the hell would anyone go to a movie when they can have the real thing? So imitating nature can only lead to the death of an art form." —Jean Renoir.
