Checkout quotes by Pawel Pawlikowski on Art

• ‟ Life is complicated, and art has the right to be complicated, too. I don't like films that simplify.

  - Pawel Pawlikowski
  

• ‟ Art is not journalism. In art, you don't make it to convey a message.

  - Pawel Pawlikowski
  

• ‟ A good script is like a work of art in itself. I've read hundreds of scripts, and good ones are very rare. If the writer has something to say, and a voice, and a plot that matches character, and an emotional trajectory that works, then I'd be an idiot to fool around with it. It's just that few scripts ever are like that.

  - Pawel Pawlikowski
  

• ‟ The most interesting stuff happens when an authoritarian government removes itself a little and gives this margin of freedom. And then art is grabbed with both hands.

  - Pawel Pawlikowski
  

• ‟ For me, good films and good books are irreducible to a lesson. You can't just kind of translate them into one statement. On the contrary, the more you do that, the less wisdom in art there is.

  - Pawel Pawlikowski
  

• ‟ What's been lost is allowing cinema to be artful, playful, to have ambiguity, to have form, to be contemplative, to wish to be art. This slightly timeless approach to reality, like Chekhov in literature, where you look at all humanity and try to find what's transcendent.
