Quote by Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something

The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesnt. – Jean-Luc Godard
