Famous quotes containing the word film:

    “Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has to the book I am reading.”
    —Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971)

    “You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
    —Werner Herzog (b. 1942)

    “All the old supports going, gone, this man reaches out a hand to steady himself on a ledge of rough brick that is warm in the sun: his hand feeds him messages of solidity, but his mind messages of destruction, for this breathing substance, made of earth, will be a dance of atoms, he knows it, his intelligence tells him so: there will soon be war, he is in the middle of war, where he stands will be a waste, mounds of rubble, and this solid earthy substance will be a film of dust on ruins.”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
