Five or six quotes on film-making

Some quotes on films and the film business.

Film moments #28: Skyfall (2012)

In another universe Skyfall would have been the final Bond film. The villain is the security services, seen in the shadows in a darkened mirror.

Film moments #27: It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)

‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ is thought of as a Christmas film about virtue being recognised. But Capra’s movie is also about the ties that bind communities together.

Follies

Sondheim said that Follies was a play without a plot. Maybe. But it does have a story, about memory, regret, and illusion. And songs.
