| Quotes: |
They called me 'The Ancestor of the New Wave' when I was only 30. I had seen very few films, which, in a way, gave me both the naivety and the daring to do what I did.

I don't believe in inspiration that arrives like a bolt from the blue - if it doesn't also arise from your body and your immediate lived experience. That's why I always refer to 'subjective documentary'. It seems to me that the more motivated I am by what I film, the more objectively I film.
<br />

Regarding this Women's March at Cannes, well, I'm a bit this and that because you say, okay, women should go marching, they should be in the selection committees, associations, we should have equal decision-making...But now if you have famous women in Cannes, that's a bit too chic for me, cinema, because the question is at all levels: in the factories, in the offices, everywhere, not just in the show business. So that is what i have to say to that. I'm always wary of actions that are too spectacular. I think that it's a day to day work everywhere where decisions are being made at all levels. I'm not criticizing... I'm half happy because there were beautiful women, beautiful staircases and beautiful clothes, but I think, sometimes, marching in the streets or having a meeting is more important.

Pour moi, le cin��ma est une exp��rience passionnante et p��rilleuse parce que j'essaie de trouver une ��criture vivante, entre le hasard et le travail. |
