| Quotations On Cinema |
Curiosity doesn't matter any more. These days people don't want to be transported to emotional territories where they don't know how to react.
-- Hector Babenko
|
What is saved in the cinema when it achieves art is a spontaneous continuity with all mankind. It is not an art of the princes or the bourgeoisie. It is popular and vagrant. In the sky of the cinema people learn what they might have been and discover what belongs to them apart from their single lives.
-- John Berger
1926-, British Actor, Critic
|
Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.
-- Ingmar Bergman
1918-, Swedish Stage, Film Writer, Director

My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.
-- Robert Bresson
1907-, French Film Director

Films can only be made by by-passing the will of those who appear in them, using not what they do, but what they are.
-- Robert Bresson
1907-, French Film Director

The making of a picture ought surely to be a rather fascinating adventure. It is not; it is an endless contention of tawdry egos, some of them powerful, almost all of them vociferous, and almost none of them capable of anything much more creative than credit-stealing and self-promotion.
-- Raymond Chandler
1888-1959, American Author

The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half-piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution form the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.
-- Raymond Chandler
1888-1959, American Author

If you can't believe a little in what you see on the screen, it's not worth wasting your time on cinema.
-- Serge Daney
1944-1992, French Film Critic
