Ingmar Bergman’s ‘Scenes From a Marriage’ (1973)
(Source: mizoguchi)
“For most people, a film is a short-lived product, like soap, matches, or polished false teeth. But not for the film director. He lives with his opus (like the devil, he does) until opening night, when he unwillingly surrenders it to the public.”
From a self-interview by Ingmar Bergman, republished by criterion.
6. Werner Herzog on Jean-Luc Godard:
“Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung-fu film.”
20. Kevin Smith on Paul Thomas Anderson (specifically, Magnolia):
“I’ll never watch it again, but I will keep it. I’ll keep it right on my desk, as a constant reminder that a bloated sense of self-importance is the most unattractive quality in a person or their work.”
27. David Cronenberg on M. Night Shymalan:
“I HATE that guy! Next question.”
