That is the genius
:20:45
of Deodato's idea.
:20:47
When The Blair Witch Project
was out,

:20:50
years afterwards,
it was the same thing.

:20:53
You have to maintain
this 'fine-line',

:20:56
this ambiguity between what's true
and what's false.

:20:59
Afterall,
that's what attracts the audience.

:21:06
This movie is essentially based
:21:09
on the attempt to make
cinematic discourse hyperrealistic.

:21:13
And to do that,
:21:17
we concentrated our efforts
:21:21
on our wish to be credible.
:21:26
In other movies,
:21:28
like Argento's or Fulci's,
which I did later on,

:21:34
there was no such requirement.
:21:38
On the contrary,
there was a wish,

:21:41
from the cinematographer, and
of course from the director,

:21:45
to create a filmic discourse
:21:48
full of effects,
of suggestions...

:21:53
Way beyond credibility.
:21:55
Cannibal Holocaust,
on the other hand, is based

:21:59
on the idea
