On cinema

“They finally removed it today

The whole shelf with movies

There will be no more supply

What we gonna do now?”

*

“I guess we need to get back to watching TV!”

*

“After my dead body!

I will go back to the greatest

Almodóvar, Bergman, Buñuel

Dolan, Fellini, Jarman, Jarmusch

Kieślowski, Ozon, Polański, Truffaut

Varda, von Trier, Wenders

Hitchcock made movies in every genre

Horror, mystery, humour, noir

Spy and psychological thrillers

He knew best

Started with silent cinema

Schooled at the German UFA

About every correct lens

For use in his films to transpose

Every imperative imperfection

From the emotions

Glowing from the screen

No dazzling blood or other frightening gadgets

As everything happens

On an intellectual level

Whoever gets it is a master

Same as he was

You can watch his movies every time

With new eyes

Discovering the nuances

Your eyes have not seen yet

During the first screening

No need for new plot twists

They were all invented for good reason

That they are the best

The rest are just reproductions like posters

No need to melt them all over

In this artistic machine

He was overpaid for doing the right things

That have stayed for generations

Teaching us the most crucial values

Of human psyche

Who we are and where is our place

Who does not know this, will never understand

The true love of a cinemaniac

Who doesn’t need a supermarket shelf

To know what has the highest value

In the human heart

Born and bred

During a dark screening at the cinema, mate!”
