Famous quotes containing the word film:

    “Lay not that flattering unction to your soul,
    That not your trespass but my madness speaks;
    It will but skin and film the ulcerous place,
    Whilst rank corruption, mining all within,
    Infects unseen.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
