Lucrecia Martel
“From the very beginning, even when I’m writing, I think a lot about the sound. Many elements of my work in cinema come from oral storytelling and oral tradition. I think about sound and the rhythm of the sound.”
Fatih Akin
“The funnier it is in the beginning of a story, the more dramatic it can become. Because when an audience is laughing, that's opening their souls somehow, and when you have an audience with an open soul, it's much better to hit them with a knife.”
Tony Gatlif
“At the time, it was useless to use words to make the case for the gypsies, so I used music as the key.”
Cristi Puiu
“I’m not like other directors who don’t allow their actors to watch. I let them have one scene their way, one for me, then allow them to compare. I don’t choose actors for their appearance or ability in dancing or whatever, but because of their intelligence.”
Kornél Mundruczó
“I come from a theatrical background, and I'm convinced that it's in fact the audience which determines whether the film works or not.”
Chris Cunningham
“All I ever do is talk about films and then not make them. As a result I thought: just shut up about it—make a film then talk about it when it's done.”
Sergei Eisenstein
“Now why should the cinema follow the forms of theater and painting rather than the methodology of language, which allows wholly new concepts of ideas to arise from the combination of two concrete denotations of two concrete objects?”
Elem Klimov
“I’ve lost interest in making films. Everything that was possible I felt I had already done. ”
