My taste for the mysterious

15Dec06

” Realism is neither an enclosure nor a panorama that has just a single surface. A landscape,for example ,has several textures, and the deepest one,that can be revealed only by poetry,is no less real. It is said ,that what I wish to show, behind the epiderm of things and people ,is the unreal.It is called my taste for the mysterious.For me,the mysterious is man,the long irrational lines of his spiritual life,love,salvation.For me,the key to the mystery-which is to say God-is to be found at the centre of the successive layers of reality….Man is not only a social being,he is also divine.”

Federico Fellini
