Cinema Quote by Darren Aronofsky

“Film is a great tool to play with time, going back and forth through time, or speeding time up and slowing it down and do stuff like that. That's something you can't experience in real life that you can experience on film, and it takes you to a different place.”

Darren Aronofsky
