Jean Epstein

The director Jean Epstein (above), fascinated with cinema's power, wrote:
To discover unexpectedly, as if for the first time, everything from a divine perspective, with it symbolic profile and vaster sense of analogy, suffused with an aura of personal identity, that is the great joy of cinema.
I'd say that's a pretty good summation of why film fascinates me too.
