More quotes by Claude Chabrol
I love mirrors. They let one pass through the surface of things.
Claude Chabrol
I remember an article, I can't recall who by, it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which said that now the Wall was down, there could be no more class war. Only someone with money could ever say such a thing.
Claude Chabrol
I'm not wild about hand-held shots.
Claude Chabrol
A woman is subject matter enough.
Claude Chabrol
I wanted to make a film about stupid people that was very vulgar and deeply stupid. From that moment on I can hardly be reproached for making a film that is about stupid people.
Claude Chabrol
You have to accept the fact that sometimes you are the pigeon, and sometimes you are the statue.
Claude Chabrol
First I went to the Sorbonne to do my licence en lettres, but I also started to study law.
Claude Chabrol
There is no new wave, only the sea.
Claude Chabrol
I am a Communist, certainly, but that doesn't mean I have to make films about the wheat harvest.
Claude Chabrol
I like to have the screen full of color, twenty colors on the screen at once, fifty colors. There are no dominants despite what people have said.
Claude Chabrol
As far as I was concerned, either I was a homosexual or I wasn't, so making films would change nothing.
Claude Chabrol
You make a film to distract people, to interest them, perhaps to make them think, perhaps to help them be a little less naive, a little better than they were.
Claude Chabrol
There's one thing which I hate about color films... people who use up a lot of their despairing producer's money by working in the laboratory to bring out the dominant hues, or to make color films where there isn't any color.
Claude Chabrol
