Andrei Zvyagintsev
“As an art-house director I am supposed to hate mainstream films but I saw Peter Jackson's King Kong and liked it. I even cried when I was watching it although in my opinion this film has no artistic value at all.”
Deepa Mehta
“I am not a politician, I am a filmmaker, and although you should be able to distance yourself from your own work and be objective about it, there is so much of your own personal emotions and involvement put into a film.”
Michael Haneke
“Every film is manipulative, raping the viewer. So the question is: Why do I rape the viewer?”
Ingmar Bergman
“Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.”
David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
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.”
