Quotes by Patricia Rozema

"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 (source)

"Since my teens, I had a vision of me sitting in a rocking chair, with a row of film cans beside me. Each can represents a person, an idea, a joke, a political statement. Together, they add up to my world view. I can barely look at my own work, but I wanted that, and I wanted to show it to the other old ladies in the nursing home."
-- Patricia Rozema (source)

"Who's behind the camera really affects what you see on screen. It's just been too many dudes with baseball caps for too long, and that sameness of vision impoverishes us all."
-- Patricia Rozema (source)

Quote by Patricia Rozema [in French]

Quotes about Patricia Rozema

"[Patricia] Rozema's films are fundamentally optimistic, especially against the backdrop of an Anglo-Canadian tradition infamous for its dour worldview. Indeed, she has said of several films that she initially wrote them far darker than she eventually filmed them. This is not to say that her films do not tackle distressing and difficult topics, but that they never leave audiences with the feeling that there is no way out."
-- David L. Pike (source)

"[Patricia] 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 (source)
