“I’ve always been trusting my audience to have an imagination; otherwise they should stay out of the cinema. You have to leave something open. You have to have an open ending. Neither good, nor bad… the moment you start preaching in the film, the moment you want to teach your audience - you are making a bad film.” #DouglasSirk
