Cinema Quotes

Instead of watching DVDs at home, I prefer going to the cinema to get the experience.

Sunidhi Chauhan
For any movement to emerge, it has to be innovatively independent from the mainstream cinema, and I don't see that much.

I grew up with Hollywood movies, so for a French director to have a film distributed in the U.S. is a real opportunity.

Xavier Durringer
