When we say 'cinematic', we tend to think John Ford and vistas and wide-open spaces. Or we think of kinetic camera movement or of a certain number of cinematic styles, like film noir.

Lenny Abrahamson

I'm not trying to write cinematic novels, but I have been told several times that my style is cinematic.

Nicholas Royle

There is no other way to break the frozen cinematic conventions than through a complete derangement of the official cinematic senses.

Jonas Mekas

I use cinematic things in a theatrical way on stage, and in film I use theatrical techniques in a cinematic way.

Julie Taymor

I need to create a whole cinematic experience. I think that's what it takes to get the audience to the theater and justify seeing [a movie] on a big screen. You have to give them a cinematic experience.

Fede Alvarez

I love creating bold, cinematic moments with my runway shows, so the idea of being a film director has always been appealing to me.

Tommy Hilfiger

I've always approached television from a little more cinematic perspective, if not a much more cinematic perspective because of the shows I have been fortunate enough to work on.

Bear McCreary

Both cinematic culture and the culture at large have changed profoundly. We're now in post-cinematic digital culture, and the internet has obviously usurped movies, which are no longer central to our lives, at least not as a collective spectator experience.

Masha Tupitsyn

When you write a scene where somebody is afraid of something you instantly go to decades of genre cinema: horror, suspense, and thrillers. Those are very cinematic genres, when you shoot a close-up of someone and you can see fear in the person's face, or anticipation, or some kind of anxiety, it's a very cinematic image.

Kleber Mendonca Filho

I'm not a cinematic cinematic person. I go to the movies like I did back when I was a kid. I go to the movies and I sit down. If the music works, hmm. If it doesn't work, hmm. The whole concept of the thing, not as one piece here or there. For me, music is a large part.

Melvin Van Peebles

So I prefer to do the entire music for a film. And when I'm doing the background score, I can weave the whole film together in terms of themes and songs for a good cinematic feel.
