More quotes by Jacques Audiard
What interests me about genre is that the public connects immediately with it, it has certain rules, certain codes the audience recognizes. I can use that to create something very big.
Jacques Audiard
I don't feel comfortable with violence, and I'm not sure that I film violent scenes properly, and it's something I'm reticent to do, and yet violence is sort of in all of my films.
Jacques Audiard
The so-called remake is simply a commercial formulation of a much deeper exchange which accounts for the way cinema is what it is.
Jacques Audiard
Something that I tell myself every morning when I wake up is like: Think it over, take the time to think it over. I don't like spontaneity, there you go. I'm wary of it.
Jacques Audiard
Film is abstract, not definite. It is a dream.
Jacques Audiard
For me, there was no great myth around the movies when I was a young child. My father was very simple about the whole thing. He did not consider cinema an art. Cinema was entertainment. Literature and music were art.

The cinema, as literature, as all the plastic arts, do not exist outside of a critical system that allows us to study them.
Jacques Audiard
When you're a kid and your father is an engineer, he goes to the office. I saw my father get up and go to the office in the house and write. But I don't see any similarities.
Jacques Audiard
I think that cinema has always progressed through exchanges.
Jacques Audiard
Do we root for Michael Corleone in the 'Godfather' films? I think so, even if he is a monster.
Jacques Audiard
Used properly, cinema is the coolest thing in the world.
Jacques Audiard
In movies, it's so easy to have this 'boom,' to kill, and I think that's inhumane.
Jacques Audiard
Cinema for me only has meaning when it has a relationship with what I see outside on the street.
Jacques Audiard
I think 'Scarface' is a great film, but if you have a character like Tony Montana, you don't identify with him at all. I think it's very interesting instead to identify yourself with a character you don't like all the time. You can create a tension between the fiction and the viewer. You force the spectator to wonder about his actions.
