“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.”
Michael Haneke
“Every film is manipulative, raping the viewer. So the question is: Why do I rape the viewer?”
Lars von Trier

Béla Tarr

Andrei Tarkovsky

Harmony Korine
“When I was a child the temptation to sin was always a romantic option. This romantic option lead me to the cinema, a place where sin was welcome.”
Todd Solondz
“Some people will of course accuse me of misanthropy and cynicism. I can’t celebrate humanity but I’m not out to indict it either. I just want to expose certain truths.”
Werner Herzog
