Wim Wenders "I am becoming more of a sound man than an image man…"
I used to say that my profession consisted of making images and that was true of my first films. I used to shoot, then I mixed and cut, then I remixed and recut and after two months' work the final mix of the film was done in three days. These days it's different. I cut my images in two weeks and slave over the sound for six months. I am becoming more of a sound man than an image man…
– Wim Wenders, interview (1)

Ferdinando Pessoa: "Always Astonished"
[quotes from the film]

Ferdinando Pessoa pictured on 100 Escudo(1986)
I listen without looking
I listen without looking and so see
[in Polish: Słucham nie patrząc i w ten sposób widzę]
In broad daylight even the sounds shine.
In broad daylight even the sounds shine.
On the repose of the wide field they linger.
It rustles, the brize silent.
I have wanted, like sounds, to live by things
And not be theirs, a winged consequence
Carrying the real far.
