Бележки на един режисьор за изгнанието, семейството и киното."Цял живот съм се крил зад филмови герои. Живеех техния живот и като разказвах техните истории, криех своя. Неразказаните истории оставаха в режисьорския бележник като в добре запушена бутилка. И изведнъж, вероятно с надеждата с това да улесня завръщането си, реших да отворя тази бутилка."

"For a person to write a book like this, he has to love art, passionately and selflessly, and to love, of course, the artist as well. The author possesses these qualities in full measure. But even with the love, enthusiasm, and admiration that permeate the entire book, it in no way amounts to a glorification, veneration, or canonization of Zlatyu Boyadzhiev’s image. Quite the opposite - the author has succeeded in keeping a necessary distance, allowing him the opportunity to combine an up-close and a distant view of the artist. He doesn’t carve a monument, he doesn’t paint an icon; rather, he presents a dynamic image, ... |
