Famous quotes containing the word films:

    “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)

    “Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to society’s porous face.”
    —Marjorie Rosen (b. 1942)
