American films are the best films. This is a fact. Cinema is - along with Jazz - the great American art form. And cinema in a very real sense created the American identity that has been exported around the world.

Ben Dreyfuss

I think that narrative, fiction filmmaking is the culmination of several art forms: theater, art history, architecture. Whereas doc filmmaking is more pure cinema, like cinema verite is film in its purest form.

George Hickenlooper

The silent pictures were the purest form of cinema

Alfred Hitchcock

French cinema has always been very interesting, and it's still very powerful. I think it goes to show that it's great to still have a cinema that doesn't try to emulate, for example, American cinema.

Louis Leterrier

American capitalism finds its sharpest and most expressive reflection in the American cinema.

Sergei Eisenstein

I believe in cinema! Unfortunately, 90 per cent of Hindi cinema is non-cinema. Only marketing works here. Even the item songs in these films are an extension of marketing.

Kay Kay Menon

When I first envisioned 'Funny Games' in the mid-1990s, it was my intention to have an American audience watch the movie. It is a reaction to a certain American cinema, its violence, its naivety, the way American cinema toys with human beings. In many American films, violence is made consumable.

Michael Haneke

Cinema is a form of art, and like every other art form, cinema also needs freedom of expression.

Taapsee Pannu

Cinema is not about format, and it's not about venue. Cinema is an approach. Cinema is a state of mind on the part of the filmmaker. I've seen commercials that have cinema in them, and I've seen Oscar-winning movies that don't. I'm fine with this.

Steven Soderbergh

Seventies cinema - 'Taxi Driver,' 'Deliverance' - that was the best period of American cinema.

Gaspar Noe

I think American cinema, particularly, has become so disposable. It's not even cinema, It's just moviemaking.

Eriq La Salle

We can't keep thinking in a limited way about what cinema is. We still don't know what cinema is. Maybe cinema could only really apply to the past or the first 100 years, when people actually went to a theater to see a film, you see?

Martin Scorsese

Cinema is all about going back from shadow to light and back and forth: cinema is a place of transgression.

Bruno Dumont

My sense of cinema improved slowly as I started watching South cinema, got to know that cinema is much appreciated here.

Wamiqa Gabbi

Film is pop art. It's not whether it's auteur cinema or not; that's a false distinction. Cinema is cinema.

Denis Villeneuve

My cinema - the '50s, '60s - is different from the cinema today so I thought that it would not be bad to show that kind of cinema where we could dream.

Gina Lollobrigida
