A Pure Soul (Sergei Eisenstein on Walt Disney)

“On dirait que cet homme connait non seulement la magie de tous les moyens techniques, mais qu’il sait aussi agir sur les cordes les plus secretes des pensees, des images mentales et des sentiments humains. C’est ainsi que devaient agir les preches de saint Francois d’Assise.”

Translation: One would say that this man knows not only the magic of all technologic means, but he also knows how to act on the most secret chords of thought, mental images and human feelings. That is how the sermons of Saint Francis of Assise must have acted.
