film quotation

Friends, other directors, actors, writers, business acquaintances surface out of a litter of film quotations, direct or oblique.

There are so many film quotations that, as handsomely rendered as they are by Tak Fujimoto's dexterous cinematography, you may feel there's no there there.

According to Richard Harris, a psychology professor at Kansas State University, who studied why people like to cite films in social situations, using film quotations in everyday conversation is similar to telling a joke and a way to form solidarity with others.
