"DEATH IS BLISS" film program at Thammasat University Library

Favorite quote from Laurie Anderson:
http://bombsite.com/issues/69/articles/2271

"When your alarm clock rings, you don’t get up and say, Why am I in the world? You get up because you have to be at your job on time. It’s simpler to think of small things."


Favorite quote from Alexander Kluge in 1989:
http://bombsite.com/issues/27/articles/1192

"The new world of the next century will be very indirect; it will totally occupy the mind. No one will have time to reflect, to have experiences."


I think it would be very interesting if a person wakes up each morning and wonders, "Why am I in this world?" However, I hope that person would not end up like the protagonist of THE DEVIL, PROBABLY (1977, Robert Bresson, A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++), which will be shown at Thammasat University Library on June 5, 1230hrs.

One of my most favorite scenes of all time from THE DEVIL, PROBABLY:
