One has... the sense of these two men as Masters, as artists who invent strategies, vocabularies, syntactical and grammatical forms of film, as men whose innovative functions and special intensity of energy are radical, defining the possibilities of the medium for their contemporaries. One sees, as well, that they share a common function, through a conjunction of praxis and theoria, to define those possibilities and to determine the arenas of discourse and of action. In so doing, they force the very best of their contemporaries to define themselves, in work and discourse, in relation to them.... I am saying, then, that filmmaking and the theory and criticism of film must, in their most intensive and significant instances, ultimately situate themselves in relation to the work and thinking of these two artists, and I will infer, correlatively, that failure to do so may be seen most indulgently as provincialism, must more exactly be termed unseriousness. -Annette Michelson, Lucida, Camera Obscura
