  • Quotes

    "I've always felt that the place is a character in the story. Like Los Angeles was in Targets or San Francisco was in What's Up, Doc? [1972] or Anarene in The Last Picture Show. The place where it happens is very important and is as much of a character as anything."Senses of Cinema: Peter Bogdanovich
