The rhetoric will tone down considerably when the current batch of lousy films fades into deserved obscurity. There's got to be a renaissance of cinema sometime, but I guess I'd better not hold my breath.
No doubt there are new Directors out there somewhere who will follow in the steps of Antonioni, Peckinpah, Malle, Tarkovski, Greenaway, Kurosawa, et. al. even a Blake Edwards clone would be nice.
Directors with a fresh outlook, unconstricted by formulaic "advertising Agency" reverse engineered plots, with something to say; not obviously aiming to please the "great dumbed down" or worshipping at the Shrine of the Great Bland Eye. Please, new Directors, and lots of them.
Fellini never had the digital tools, or the budget of a "Pearl", but if you want top see a really great film, watch "La Strada" or "La Dolce Vita". They're Black and White BTW. I'm sorry, but I have a knee jerk reaction to garbage
