RE: [Avid-L2] Re: Who needs 4K?

Just because the camera is capturing something with perfect clarity, doesn't mean what it is capturing needs to be perfect realism. I'd rather see a great story captured beautifully than a great story told by a phone camera. To me, a beautifully shot scene is still an important part of the film-going experience. I don't want it to look like I could have shot it.

Time to revisit that great interview of Jean Renoir by Jacques Rivette (who wasn't the director we know then) where he talks exactly about that :

"In the history of all arts, the arrival of perfect realism coincided with perfect decadence."

"Technical perfection can only create boredom, because it only reproduces nature".
