Famous quotes containing the word film:

    “This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
    —British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)

    “The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
    —Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)

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