Famous quotes containing the words british and/or films:
“The British tourist is always happy abroad as long as the natives are waiters.”
—Robert Morley (1908–1992)
“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.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
