The fact that I made a special movie with an old-fashioned style - even if it's a mix between with modern and old-fashioned things - must mean I feel both ways about change. In a way I'm resisting, but in a way adapting myself to the times.

I'm very happy in France making movies.

It's about storytelling. The story is told through images. So with the cast, I had to make sure that the emotions were readable without sound... I know some great actors, if you turn off the sound, you don't really know what they're saying

Sure, I watched a lot of Hollywood movies. Maybe I've seen more Hollywood movies than French movies

I guess all the directors in France are influenced by Hitchcock, because he's the perfect visual director, in my eyes.

When you do not have the dialogue to explain things, you will use everything to show and to tell the story. I think that this is what makes you believe that it is impeccable

I only have one obsession - not to be boring.
