- "In many ways Roger Corman is to American cinema what Jess Franco is to European cinema. They both directed low budget, B-movie style films that attracted minority cultures in the United States and Europe respectively.
- "Film is a genuine art. It is genuine in that it is strictly popular. Like all the arts its apppeal is based on a few primitive, and therefore universal, instincts and mechanisms in man. Sex and combat are the chief instincts. --after Terry Ramsaye (1926).
- "Voyeurism is not just one of the primary tools of cinema, but of written fiction too."
- "The Kino is a vulgar modern entertainment and I doubt if it can tell us anything serious about the modern condition." --Sigmund Freud

In the Cut is a 2003 American/British/Australian crime/erotic thriller film written and directed by New Zealand director Jane Campion. It is based on a Susanna Moore novel, and has been released on DVD. The unrated version is notorious for a scene of apparent unsimulated fellatio witnessed by Meg Ryan's character, although it was later revealed in the film commentary that the actress fellated a dildo.
