To capture reality spontaneously and to give it life, more is involved of course than simply casting people of the milieu. They must be allowed to be themselves, to express themselves in their own manner but in accordance with the abstractions and themes which you as the director must be able to see in them. This is something quite different from traditional script writing, in which the ideas and abstractions are essentially the writer’s, with professional actors portraying those ideas and abstractions through their personality. But for expressing the inner life of people in a particular milieu, I believe the method I followed in my films is a deeper and truer one. LIONEL ROGOSIN
