Quotes
[in 1963]: Roberto Rossellini keeps announcing that he will make no more films. Some people get ready to celebrate. The French nouvelle vague get out their mourning whilst their leader, Truffaut, rushes to Rome to convince the master not to abandon them; and Rossellini says, "Well, just one more."
