The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.
If life is imperfect, cinema makes it just a little less imperfect.
I wonder how people remember things who don’t film or photograph or tape.
— Chris Marker in “Sans Soleil”
I’d always professed that cinema was to be seen only in a movie theater, that television was to be used as a memory aid only. Shamefully, I have perjured myself, simply because I no longer have the time.
A great movie acts like a window in our box of space and time, opening us to other times and other lands. The more windows we open, the better.
