Nikita Mikhalkov

“Some people are of the opinion that an intellectual should hate power, drink like a cobbler and die of consumption under a fence. Then you are a real artist. But in that case what do we do with Lev Tolstoy?”

Kenji Mizoguchi

“You must put the odor of the human body into images...describe for me the implacable, the egoistic, the sensual, the cruel...there are nothing but disgusting people in this world.”

 
W120

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.”

Kon Ichikawa

“I don't have any unifying theme - I just make any picture I like or that my company tells me to do.”

Krzysztof Kieślowski

“Maybe it is worth investigating the unknown, if only because the very feeling of not knowing is a painful one.”

Lars von Trier

“I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.”
