Trivia: “Charles Bronson was not allowed to see the film, but said that if his mother liked it, that would be enough for him. According to Refn, his mother loved it. In 2011 Bronson was finally allowed to see the film and called it "theatrical, creative and brilliant".

Quand je ne dors pas La nuit se traîne La nuit n'en finit plus Et j'attends que quelque chose vienne Mais je ne sais qui je ne sais quoi J'ai envie d'aimer, j'ai envie de vivre Malgré le vide de tout ce temps passé De tout ce temps gaché Et de tout ce temps perdu Dire qu'il y a tant d'êtres sur la terre Qui comme moi ce soir sont solitaires C'est triste à mourir Quel monde insensé Je voudrais dormir et ne plus penser J'allume une cigarette J'ai des idées noires en tête Et la nuit me parait si longue, si longue, si longue

Translation in English

The Night Won't Seem  To End When I'm not sleeping The night drags on The night won't seem to end And I wait for something to come But I don't know who I don't know what I want to love, I want to live Despite the emptiness of all this time passed Of all this wasted time And of all this lost time To think that there are so many beings on the earth Who like me tonight are alone It's sad to the point of death What a senseless world I would like to sleep and not think anymore I light a cigarette I have dark ideas in my mind And the night seems so long, so long, so long

Tom: Zeroed in. Bang, you know?

Iggy: Me, too. I feel sorry for suckers still puffing away,

you know?

Tom: No willpower.

I mean, it's just like jewelry.

You know, it's not really...

I don't even inhale.

You want to join me in one?

I am a psychiatrist. I have been for 27 years. I'm completely worn out. Year after year, listening to patients who aren't satisfied with their lives, who want to have fun, who want me to help them with that - it wears you out, I can tell you. My life isn't exactly a lot of fun either. People demand so much. That's the conclusion I've drawn after all these years. They demand to be happy, at the same time as they are egocentric, selfish, and ungenerous. Well, I would like to be honest. I would like to say that they are quite simply mean, most of them. Spending hour after hour in therapy, trying to make a mean person happy... There's no point. You can't do it. I've stopped doing it. These days, I just prescribe pills. The stronger, the better.

Wilson: That's really cool, Vivian: Thanks Wilson: I mean, it's... you know, it's really interesting,

In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2007) - Alex Holdridge

There is a close-up of Julie allowing a sugar cube to soak up her coffee. Deeming that the sugar cube had to soak up the coffee in precisely 5 seconds, Krzysztof Kieslowski had his assistant director test multiple brands (which soaked with coffee anywhere from 3 to 11 seconds) to find one that took just the correct time.

“This is a sugar cube about to fall in the cup of coffee. What does this obsession with close-ups mean? Simply that we’re trying to show the heroine’s world from her point of view, to show that she sees these little things, things that are near her, by focusing on them, in order to demonstrate that the rest doesn’t matter to her. She’s trying to contain, to put a lid on her world and on her immediate environment. There are a few details like this in the movie. We made a very tight shot of the sugar cube sucking up the coffee to show that nothing around her matters to her, not other people, not their business, nor the boy, the man who loves her and went through a great ordeal to find her. She just doesn’t care. Only the sugar cube matters, and she intentionally focuses on it to shut out all the things she doesn’t accept.”

I remember reading somewhere that men learn to love the person that they're attracted to, and that women become more and more attracted to the person that they love.

Basically, when you die your spirit leaves your body, actually at first you can see all your life, like reflected in a magic mirror. Then you start floating like a ghost, you can see anything happening around you, you can hear everything but you can't communicate. Then you see lights, lights of all different colours, these lights are the doors that pull you into other planes of existence, but most people actually like this world so much, that they don't want to be taken away, so the whole thing turns into a bad trip, and the only way out is to get reincarnated.

Louise: So what happened, were you bored in Manchester?

Johnny: Was I bored? No, I wasn't fuckin' bored. I'm never bored. That's the trouble with everybody - you're all so bored. You've had nature explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the living body explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the universe explained to you and you're bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them, and it doesn't matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it's new as long as it's new as long as it flashes and fuckin' bleeps in forty fuckin' different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I'm not fuckin' bored.

“I am convinced that memory has a gravitational force. It is constantly attracting us. Those who have a memory are able to live in the fragile present moment. Those who have none don't live anywhere. Each night, slowly, impassively, the centre of the galaxy passes over Santiago.”
