Anton Yelchin Quotes About Film
-
I was drawn to photography as an extension of film, and the beauty of film is that it's a sensuous, fetishistic medium.

I've always been drawn to a certain kind of dark aesthetic in cinema and in film, to what's abjected or considered abject. I've been tremendously influenced by noirish cinema whether that's Von Sternberg or Scorsese in the 70s or Lynch, etc.
