   If people say that WA is not renewed, the critics relating to his movies   
   are not renewed more. We could say the same thing of Bergman, Chaplin etc.   
   It's not a criticism but an established fact that each great director   
   always make same film. They are repeated and it is useless to focus on the   
   repetition but on what is contained in the film which remains always lucid,   
   shining, light and deep.   
      
   Finally, people ask WA to be always new, brilliant, and that he not be   
   almost any more WA but Stanley Kubrick. Finally, the report that I do is   
   which people quite simply weary of what they loved. And that what they   
   liked, they is unable to like it in time with same constancy. This idea of   
   repetition has to see much with the cinema of WA itself. In particular in   
   the love.   
      
   I think about Before sunrise when Julie Delpy says :   
      
   "When you talked earlier about after a few years how a couple would begin   
   to hate each other by anticipating their reactions or getting tired   
   of their mannerisms. I think it would be the opposite for me. I think I can   
   really fall in love when I know everything about someone. The way he's   
   gonna part his hair which shirt he's gonna wear that day... knowing the   
   exact story he'd tell in a given situation. I'm sure that's when I know   
   I'm really in love."
