Dario Argento Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Dario Argento:

I like films to have something inside, I don't mean a message, I mean something from the soul.

But you know, as you say, the original versions of my films are getting out there, slowly.

Dario Argento

I like to watch many things, especially strange films and something recent, not just the story.

Every writer, to some extent, writes about himself.

I like films to have something inside, I don't mean a message, I mean something from the soul.

Even in the former Soviet Union, they have good copies of my movies.

Dario Argento

I make a film - and once I've made it, everyone comes along and says 'Ah! This is a film that's political, or social', or whatever. But I'm not telling the story that they see. I made a film, told a story, but I wasn't thinking about exactly what it all meant.

Dario Argento

Maybe when I stop making movies, I'll understand my work better.

Dario Argento

Paradise is too perfect for humanity.

Dario Argento

My life and career is my own adventure.

I think the camera was always my obsession, the camera movements. Because for me it's the most important thing in the move, the camera, because without the camera, film is just a stage or television - nothing.

Dario Argento

The psychiatrists examine you and ask you about your life and work, and then they decide whether your film can be shown or not. It's a horrible experience.

When I was a teenager, I read a lot of Poe.

Dario Argento

When I was five. That's when I started to love film.

Dario Argento

So I haven't thought about the critics for a long time.

Dario Argento

If you make a film normally it's all right, the distributors are helpful and cooperative. But if you make a film that's a little stange, a little bizarre, then all the time it's a struggle with them.

Dario Argento

I wanted to get back to my style of 20 years ago after a long period of exploring horror and fantasy themes.

Dario Argento

I want to do what I want when I want to do it not be dictated to by audiences.

Dario Argento

Young girls of 13 or 12 are great actors.

Dario Argento

I first came to cinema as a passionate filmgoer, when I was a child. Then, when I was a very young man, I became a film critic precisely because of my knowledge of cinema. I did better than others because of this. Then I moved on to screenwriting. I wrote a film with Sergio Leone, 'Once Upon a Time in the West.' And then I moved to directing.

Dario Argento

I went through a phase where I thought nostalgia was a bad thing.

Dario Argento

In each of my characters there is a little of me. Not strictly autobiographical but a little piece of my soul.

The Opera was a very cold film, a hopeless and dark film, no hope, no love.

When I see a film I've finished, it's like another person made it. Like another mind.

Dario Argento

There's nothing gratuitous about my films.

Dario Argento

No, it's interesting to remake a film for the contemporary audience today. I think it's a good idea; it needs to respect the original idea. Don't just take the title and change everything else.

Dario Argento

I've been lucky enough to have had the luxury of being able to make the picture I've wanted to make each time on my own terms and without compromise.

I'm very interested in portraying homosexual man and woman in my films because I'm interested in their lives and their problems.

Fear has disappeared. No more fear. In Asia, it is different. They've discovered again the fear and the psychology of the characters. Without psychology, the horror film doesn't exist.

Dario Argento

To try and raise a budget for a film that is strictly for adults and both strong and graphic in content is not easy, especially when there is pressure to spend serious money on good special effects.

Dario Argento

But no one should have the right to manipulate my films in the first place.

Dario Argento

In Italy the censor is very old and there are many judges and psychiatrists who analyse you.

Dario Argento

If you don't like my movies, don't watch them.

Dario Argento

Horror is the future. And you cannot be afraid. You must push everything to the absolute limit, or else life will be boring. People will be boring. Horror is like a serpent: always shedding its skin, always changing. And it will always come back. It can't be hidden away like the guilty secrets we try to keep in our subconscious.

Dario Argento

I'm Dario Argento, and my style is something recognizable I think by the audience.

Dario Argento

Then I realized my early work did have something special that audiences adored apart from what I humbly thought about them. They occupy a distinguished niche in Italian film history and probably always will.
