French cinema audiences usually don't express anything. Certainly not satisfaction.

This is the problem with language, and this is what makes silent movies fun, because the connection with them, me or the audience is not with the language. There's no question of interpretation of what we are saying it's just about feeling. You create your own story

I'm very happy in France making movies.

Actually, I met a lot of directors and most of them have that fantasy to make a silent movie because for directors it's the purest way to tell a story. It's about creating images that tell a story and you don't need dialogue for that.

Sometimes when an actor says something almost perfect, but you know you have to edit it, if you tell them to change something immediately, it will come out great

To me the recognition of the audience is part of the filmmaking process. When you make a movie, it's for them.

I love silent cinema but don't hold it sacred. Like any branch of film there are some very boring films alongside the masterpieces.
