Quotes by Patricia Rozema
"I don't think you need to be particularly technically gifted to be a filmmaker, either. I do enjoy that, but the gift you need is to be able to close your eyes, imagine something and describe it well."
-- Patricia Rozema
(source)
"My films assume feminism... it's in their foundation. All the assumptions of the characters and everything that happens assume that women clearly have the right to do whatever they want to do."
-- Patricia Rozema

Quote by Patricia Rozema [in French]
"Mes films reposent sur le féminisme. Mes personnages et tout ce qui leur arrive laissent supposer que les femmes ont clairement le droit de faire tout ce qu'elles veulent faire."

Quotes about Patricia Rozema
"Rozema is one of Canada's most recognizable and successful film artists, famous for works in which the wilful imagination asserts itself despite bureacracy, convention, and social expectation. As a writer and filmmaker, she is drawn to romantic figures whose artistry persists despite various obstacles, from institutionally derived notions of artistic standards to religiously supported ideas of appropriate sexualities."
-- Brenda Austin Smith
(source)
"Rozema has established herself as an exceptional and distinctly sensual
visual stylist. Her films are characterized by self-referential narration,
idiosyncratic protagonists (who are often struggling artists), formal
adventurousness, and the use of fairy tales, mythology, and poetry as
structuring notions."
-- Wyndham Wise
