Krzysztof Zanussi
Poland 1960
I have dreamed of a psychological film about marital relations. It was made with a mute camera, with no sound recording. Hence the film is solely a registration of a mood - the dialog slipped away somehow. I have developed similar style in my later works, and from my point of view this film is objectively unimportant, yet subjectively it was something essential - Krzysztof Zanussi says about Cement and Words.
