A Quote by Lenny Abrahamson

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.

Purely cinematic film ... actually the purest expression of a cinematic idea.

Francois Truffaut

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 want to work with a wide range of genres because it gives each film a different cinematic energy.

Kim Jee-woon

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 think violence in a cinematic context can be, if handled in a certain way, very seductive.

Kathryn Bigelow

I think I'm really drawn to filmmakers and artists who are kind of pathologically incapable of thinking straightforward about film, and about life as well, who cannot help but think laterally, think sideways about an approach to anything cinematic.

Jeremy Davies

I personally think a fight scene is the most cinematic thing you can witness because all the elements of filmmaking come together, you know, with the camera speed changes, editing, make up effects and general smoke and mirrors of trying to make it look like you are hitting someone when you're not. It's filmmaking in it's purest form, I think.

Scott Adkins

I thought labs were such cinematic, spooky spaces.

Megan Abbott

I think my music being referred to as "cinematic" has a lot to do with people just not being used to listening to instrumental music without watching a film. I'm still pretty convinced of that. You'll play Chopin in place of something average and like, "Wow, that'd be great in a film." People say it every time, swear to God. I don't think people have a good relationship with instruments and music anymore. But it's definitely visual; I started writing with this band because of the pictures. I can't really deny it either, you know?

Patrick Watson

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

Julie Taymor

You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.

James Wan

'Interstellar' may never equal the blast of scientific speculation and cinematic revelation that was Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey,' but its un-Earthly vistas are spectral and spectacular.

Richard Corliss

I began to exercise a lot of cinematic muscle with the precepts I had learned in the New York art world. Film was intriguing. I began to think of art as elitist; film was not.

Kathryn Bigelow

I began to exercise a lot of cinematic muscle with the precepts I had learned in the New York art world. Film was intriguing. I began to think of art as elitist, whereas film was not.

Kathryn Bigelow

I think there are specific times where film noir is a natural concomitant of the mood. When there's insecurity, collapse of financial systems - that's where film noir always hits fertile ground.

Werner Herzog
