Cinema d'auteur, cinema about people, about emotions. About la difficultรฉ d'รชtre, the difficulty of being, existential problems. That's what the nouvelle vague is. The early '60s was all about that.
Charlotte RamplingI've lived through deaths in my family and I've lived through separations in my family so those are the big ones. Those are the ones that press the biggest buttons in human beings' lives.
Charlotte RamplingBecause one has the animal instinct to seek out the people that suits one - you see people that go on life's journeys and get muddled along the way. If you look at their lives they've always gone with the wrong people... can you say it's the wrong people - I don't know.
Charlotte RamplingYou don't need the painful memories, because either you've resolved them. Denying always makes them want to come back. Denial is a mechanism that doesn't work. But allowing them to come back in little by little, those memories, you can begin to be quite comfortable with them, and it's even nice to have that as part of the map of your life.
