Nicolas Roeg
“You make the movie through the cinematography - it sounds quite a simple idea, but it was like a huge revelation to me.”
Louis Malle
“You must find the note, the correct key, for your story. If you find it, everything will work. If you do not, everything will stick out like elbows.”
Fritz Lang
“I should say that I was a visual person. I experience with my eyes and never, or rarely, with my ears...to my constant regret.”
Claire Denis
“Even if it's the dream of a voyage, I think it was very important for me that the film offer the two sides of the globe.”
Yasujirô Ozu
“I formulated my own directing style in my own head, proceeding without any unnecessary imitation of others… For me there was no such thing as a teacher. I have relied entirely on my own strength.”
Satyajit Ray
“What is attempted in these films is of course a synthesis. But it can be seen by someone who has his feet in both cultures. Someone who will bring to bear on the films involvement and detachment in equal measure.”
Carl Theodor Dreyer
“Nothing in the world can be compared to the human face. There is no greater experience in a studio than to witness the expression of a sensitive face under the mysterious power of inspiration. To see it animated from inside, and turning into poetry.”
Henri-Georges Clouzot
“I want only to tell a story. I think movies are entertainment. If at the same time you can get across something you feel, that is perfect.”
Jan Švankmajer
“I never call myself an animated filmmaker because I am interested not in animation techniques or creating a complete illusion, but in bringing life to everyday objects.”
