SUMMARY
"I wanted to film the American citizen, from birth to death, in all the comical, absurd and unusual circumstances of his life...I wanted to show his extraordinary youth, his passions, his taste for violence, his dramas, his friendliness and his idiosyncrasies. I wanted to be a curious, untiring even indiscreet observer. But I never allowed myself to be judgmental".
