I love silent cinema but don't hold it sacred. Like any branch of film there are some very boring films alongside the masterpieces.
Michel HazanaviciusI am unusual for a Frenchman - I have absolutely nothing against the United States.
Michel HazanaviciusI thought 'The Artist' was a perfect way to find a good balance. The artistic challenge is obvious because the film is black-and-white and its silent, but I did my best to make the movie accessible and easy to watch. I really don't want to make elitist movies. I really try hard to work for the audience. Audiences are smart. They get everything.
