F.W. Murnau
“Our battle, our struggle, is to create art. Our weapon is the moving picture...we are scientists engaged in the creation of memory... but our memory will neither blur nor fade.”
Gus Van Sant
“I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.”
Ken Loach
“A movie isn't a political movement, a party or even an article. It's just a film. At best it can add its voice to public outrage.”
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.”
Christopher Nolan
“I think audiences get too comfortable and familiar in today's movies. They believe everything they're hearing and seeing. I like to shake that up.”
Luc Besson
“Cinema never saved anyone's life, it is not a medicine that will save anyone's life. It is only an aspirin. There are a few directors that I really loved who made like five, six great movies, but are still shooting and they're not good anymore.”
Joel Schumacher
“We deserved it. I mean, if you get a pummeling, you deserved it. But isn’t it wonderful to remember a time that America was once so innocent that all we had to worry about was the next “Batman” movie?”
Pedro Almodóvar
“I also wanted to express the strength of cinema to hide reality, while being entertaining. Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.”
Steven Shainberg
“Peter Greenaway is a great aesthetic filmmaker. For my money, he's a bit heavy. He's a bit intellectual. I never care about his people, I mean really care about them.”
