Abbas Kiarostami
“But in all, I don't like to engage in telling stories. I don't like to arouse the viewer emotionally or give him advice. I don't like to belittle him or burden him with a sense of guilt. These are the things I don't like in the movies.”
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?”
Andrei Tarkovsky
“Juxtaposing a person with an environment that is boundless, collating him with a countless number of people passing by close to him and far away, relating a person to the whole world, that is the meaning of cinema.”
Quentin Tarantino
“I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.”
Alain Corneau
“I was lucky to be able to bring to fruition unlikely projects that were close to my heart like ‘Nocturne Indien’ or ‘Tous Les Matins Du Monde’, which fulfilled my wish to make a film about Baroque music, some of my other films could have been better, but I avoid watching them.”
Louis Malle
“You must find the note, the correct key, for your story. If you find it, everything will work. If you do not, everything will stick out like elbows.”
Federico Fellini
“What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one...”
Agnès Varda
“I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.”
Robert Redford
“Ideas aren't real estate, they grow collectively and that knocks out the egotistical loneliness that generally infects art.”
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.”
Edgar G. Ulmer
“I really am looking for absolution for all the things I had to do for money's sake.”
Stanley Donen
“For me directing is like having sex: when it’s good, it’s very good; but when it’s bad, it’s still good.”
Mitchell Leisen
“The camera never moves arbitrarily in any of my films. It follows somebody across the room or some kind of action; therefore you are not particularly conscious of the camera moving. Unnecessary camera movement destroys the concentration of the audience.”
