Film-making is like spermatozoa. Only one in a million makes it.
The more I go to the movies, the more I like French movies.
The screenplay talks to the conscious mind and the music to the,subconscious mind. Our subconscious tells us we are eternal but our,consciousness tell us we are mortals. Music is part of eternity. If God,exists he is the composer.
I deal with my actors as if they were my friends and people I love. They,want to make me feel good and make me happy, and I want to make them,happy. We are not in a professional relationship, we are in a,passionate relationship.
When a film is good, the spectators feel like they are the actors. What,I love in film is not to watch the film but to live the film.
