Jean-Luc Godard
Photography is truth.
Jean-Luc Godard
There are two kinds of homeland: one that is given is like a negative, and one that you have to conquer is like the positive.
Jean-Luc Godard
To be only spectacular should be 5 or 10 percent of cinema.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is movement, after all.
Jean-Luc Godard
Europe has memories, America has t-shirts.
Jean-Luc Godard
I write and film history I don't make it.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but rather the phrasing of moments.
Jean-Luc Godard
People like to say, 'What do you mean exactly?' I would answer, 'I mean, but not exactly.'
