More quotes by Serge Daney
A cinephile is someone who expects too much of cinema.
Serge Daney
Inasmuch as it's a culture, cinema is the only thing at our disposal with which we can recognize ourselves in today's images. As an instrument it's inevitably inadequate, but it's the only one.
Serge Daney
In an age of synthetic images and synthetic emotions, the chances of an accidental encounter with reality are remote indeed.
Serge Daney
If you can't believe a little in what you see on the screen, it's not worth wasting your time on cinema.
Serge Daney
The media no longer ask those who know something to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.
Serge Daney

Serge Daney
The personal appropriation of cliches is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.
