The cinema, as literature, as all the plastic arts, do not exist outside of a critical system that allows us to study them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A film cannot make it into the culture without the support of critics.
I think cinema is linked to literature by a lot of social ways. Our brains are full of literature - my brain is.
It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.
I don't approach films purely in context of genre.
Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts.
Cinema is a territory. It exists outside of movies. It's a place I live in. It's a way of seeing things, of experiencing life. But making films, that's supposed to be a profession.
Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.
Modernism has a reputation for being a forbidding phenomenon: its visual arts disconcertingly non-representational, its literary efforts devoid of the consolations of plot and character - even its films, it's argued, fall well short of that true desideratum: entertainment.
Cinema is an art form.
Film is not literature - the image on screen is the information you get.
