Quote by Roman Polanski

“I haven't come across any recent new ideas in film that strike me as being particularly important and that have to do with form. I think that a preoccupation with originality of form is more or less a fruitless thing.

Others had much better think of the form as being some sort of classical tradition and try to work within it.”
