Jamie Thompson Stern,: The Filmmaker Says : Quotes, Quips, and Words of Wisdom

The Filmmaker Says : Quotes, Quips, and Words of Wisdom


Description

This is a book of quotations by and about filmmakers and filmmaking. One quotation per page- the quote on the left and right side of the spread will in some way respond to each other. The Filmmaker Says will resemble a dinner party, with a filmmaker from the early nineteenth century sitting next to one practicing today, or two contemporary filmmakers talking to each other, complimenting, competing, disagreeing. Occasionally, a critic will add his or her two cents to the mix.

  On 15 August 778, Charlemagne s army was returning from a successful expedition against Saracen Spain when its rearguard was ambushed in a remote Pyrenean pass. Out of this skirmish arose a stirring tale of war, which was recorded in the oldest extant epic poem in French. The Song of Roland, written by an unknown poet, tells of Charlemagne s warrior nephew, Lord of the Breton Marches, who valiantly leads his men into battle against the Saracens, but dies in the massacre, defiant to the end. In majestic verses, the battle becomes a symbolic struggle between Christianity and paganism, while Roland s last stand is the ultimate expression of honour and feudal values of twelfth-century France.
