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.”
Georg Wilhelm Pabst
“He knows how to create a strange world, whose elements are borrowed from daily life...His characters emerge like his own children, created from fragments of his own heart and mind.”
David Cronenberg
“Anybody who comes to the cinema is bringing their whole sexual history, their literary history, their movie literacy, their culture, their language, their religion, whatever they've got. I can't possibly manipulate all of that, nor do I want to.”
David Lean
“My distinguishing talent is the ability to put people under the microscope, perhaps to go one or two layers farther down than some other directors.”
Anthony Mann
"Primarily known for his Westerns, Mann portrayed a world of violence against some of the most striking natural vistas in cinema history. His crime films are gritty and real, and all his work reflects an exploration of the complex psychology of the human soul." —William R. Meyer (The Film Buff's Catalog, 1978)
Krzysztof Kieślowski
“Maybe it is worth investigating the unknown, if only because the very feeling of not knowing is a painful one.”
Akira Kurosawa
“Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied...that's why they can keep on working. I've been able to work for so long because I think next time, I'll make something good.”
Jean-Pierre Melville
“I believe that you must be madly in love with cinema to create films. You also need a huge cinematic baggage.”
