Quote: Silent Film Can Become An Addiction

Blancanieves Dancing with Grandmother

“Silent cinema can become like an hypnotic experience. I think you can get entranced. It’s almost like a voodoo experience. At least it has happened to me, and I really believe that some of film viewers, they have to give a chance to silent cinema because they have to be brave, because I have a feeling that some people that they say, ‘Oh, no silent film!’ If they taste it, I think it can become an addiction.”

Pablo Berger, director of Blancanieves, on The Film Programme
