Alfred Hitchcock

“For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.”

 
W120

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?”

 
W120

Woody Allen

“Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.”

 
W120

Joel Coen

“The characters are the result of two things-first, we elaborate them into fairly well-defined people through their dialogue, then they happen all over again, when the actor interprets them. ”

Martin Scorsese

“Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.”

Bernardo Bertolucci

“I don't film messages. I let the post office take care of those.”

 
W120

Maya Deren

“The task of cinema or any other art form is not to translate hidden messages of the unconscious soul into art but to experiment with the effects contemporary technical devices have on nerves, minds, or souls.”

Billy Wilder

“If you're going to tell people the truth, be funny or they'll kill you.”

 
W120

Vittorio De Sica

“I've lost all my money on these films. They are not commercial. But I'm glad to lose it this way. To have for a souvenir of my life pictures like Umberto D. and The Bicycle Thief.”

Michelangelo Antonioni

“Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.”
