For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.
Quote of the Day: Federico Fellini
Cinema is an old whore, like circus and variety, who knows how to give many kinds of pleasure. Besides, you can't teach old fleas new dogs.
Quote of the Day: Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn't.
Quote of the Day: Carl Jung
The cinema, like the detective story, enables us to experience without danger to ourselves all the excitements, passions, and fantasies which have to be repressed in a humanistic age.
Quote of the Day: Martin Scorsese
Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.
Quote of the Day: Derek Jarman
Oh how Shakespeare would have loved cinema!
Quote of the Day: Peter Greenaway
We don’t need books to make films. It’s the last thing we want — it turns cinema into the bastard art of illustration.
