Excerpt from a 1982 interview with Orson Welles in a Parisian film school.
Orson expresses his repugnance for cinematic homages, and is baffled by how the next generation of filmmakers have seen so many films and make good films at the same time.

He'd really hate Tarantino films then 😂
So.. he'd love Lynch and hate Tarantino
His point encapsulates Kevin Smith's entire career.
Yes !!!
In order to be able to create, you need not to be a consumer this much !
Tarantino: Hold my beer
Guess he would have hated Tarantino.

Welles does have great advices… this is not one of them
how much is too much tho
And Tarantino like: whatta hell, this dude is talking about?
oh boy, he wouldnt handle a tarantino flick
If you ever wondered why Tarantino dislikes Welles😅
Repent and Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ before it’s too late
Quentin Tarantino is personally attacked. 😂
1984 was very boring dude, try harder
I wonder what he would say about watching too much videos on social media
imagine not watching too many films
What a genius ! R.I.P 😑
I get what he's saying.
There's a difference between an apiring young director and the normal consumer.
One is watching a lot of movies with the intention of learning from them and the other is just trying to entertain his brain.
The way I see it as a normal guy you should watch a movie with both intentions.
Try to understand why you like / dislike a movie and why, but dont forget to have fun while doing it.
And as Orson Welles said, don't soak in too many movies.
This is why taratino is and always will be a mediocre filmmaker
Orson to day is forward the time,the real cinema is direct,viceral and original and objective,efectve in your expression.
guy was soaked in alcohol all day everyday
Please explain me the French new wave
Wonder what tarantino has to say about it🙃
he would hate tarantino 😂
Holy shit, this comment section is pretentious.
Yea but then he was probably drunk when he said this. The legend
The problem isn't watching too many films, but being inspired by other films and paying "homage" when you are making a movie. Inspiration is ok if you don't copy or pay homage, but use that inspiration to make something your own.
C'est la différence entre vivre le film…et manger le film.
If only Welles could be here today to see all the films and tv series that pay homage to his films.
