Jean RenoirTo the question, โIs the cinema an art?โ my answer is, โwhat does it matter?โ... You can make films or you can cultivate a garden. Both have as much claim to being called an art as a poem by Verlaine or a painting by Delacroixโฆ Art is โmaking.โ The art of poetry is the art of making poetry. The art of love is the art of making love... My father never talked to me about art. He could not bear the word.
