Samuel Fuller
“Movement should be a counter, whether in action scenes or dialogue or whatever. It counters where your eye is going. This style thing, for me it's all fitted to the action, to the script, to the characters.”
Jean Cocteau
“Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail. ”
John Carpenter
“In France, I'm an auteur; in Germany, a filmmaker; in Britain, a genre film director; and, in the USA, a bum.”
Jean Rollin
“The fantastic cinema is always a good vehicle for discussing certain political ideas in the form of symbols and metaphors.”
Lamberto Bava
“I think that, of all my films, Demons is my favourite – from my father’s work it would be Black Sabbath or Bay of Blood… When you watch Bay of Blood today it doesn’t look as if it was made back in the 1970s.”
Errol Morris
“The proper route to an understanding of the world is an examination of our errors about it.”
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.”
Jules Dassin
“If there is anything I want to be remembered for, it is for fulfilling Melina's dream [the return of the Elgin Marbles to Greece].”
Jan Švankmajer
