“In Hollywood, more often than not, they’re making more kind of traditional films, stories that are understood by people. And the entire story is understood. And they become worried if even for one small moment something happens that is not understood by everyone. But what’s so fantastic is to get down into areas where things are abstract and where things are felt, or understood in an intuitive way that, you can’t, you know, put a microphone to somebody at the theatre and say ‘Did you understand that?’ but they come out with a strange, fantastic feeling and they can carry that, and it opens some little door or something that’s magical and that’s the power that film has.”

Purple Diary [ April 9 ] : Shopping

OLYMPIA in Japan : Crayon House in Omotesando. My favorite bookshop in Tokyo. It’s an international kids bookshop and has a great selection of vintage childrens’ books (which I collect), I am always the only one in there without a pram! There is also a weird organic restaurant in the basement. Olympia Le-Tan
