Jean Renoir's quotes
- My dream is of a craftsman's cinema in which the author can express himself as directly as the painter in his paintings or the writer in his books.
- The Western is always the same, which gives the director tremendous freedom.
- The saving grace of the cinema is that with patience and a little love we may arrive at that wonderfully complex creature which is called man.
- A director only makes one film in his life. Then he breaks it into pieces and makes it again.
- I believe that perfection handicaps cinema.
- It's a war film; nevertheless there's not a mention of war in it. Beneath its benign appearance, this story strikes at the very structure of our society. (on his film "The Rules of the Game")
- [on Orson Welles]: Orson Welles is an animal made for the screen and the stage. When he steps before a camera, it is as if the rest of the world ceases to exist. He is a citizen of the screen.
