  • Quotes

    "Legrand's professed affection for David Lynch struck me as most illuminating: The majority of his films are fundamentally about the terror and ecstasy of possession, which seems a fine summary of Devotion's themes."- Pitchforkmedia

    "I think a lot of Devotion is about this subtle but rhythmic vibrancy, under the surface, this bubbling thing."- Alex Scally on Devotion
