Scorsese's Piece in the NY Review

I interrupt Ladyweek to point you at an excellent essay by Martin Scorsese on the language of cinema, and of writing in general.  A bullet point version is here, the full text is here.  He pretty much says everything I personally think about writing and story creation and even references Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc (one of my characters talks about it toward the end of the book); we've always enjoyed his work and it's enlightening to discover how closely we agree!  An excellent, plain-speaking piece from a gifted and instinctive storyteller.
