More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
In movies, comedy and tragedy are all the same.
Jean-Luc Godard
Truth is in all things, even partly, in error.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is truth 24 frames-per-second.
Jean-Luc Godard
Something that I like in movies, and I dislike too, is that they can't be projected well.
Jean-Luc Godard
I've decided that what interests me most is that you can only capture the light at a certain time. But after that, five minutes after that, then it's a different thing. So if you don't have the right aperture, you've missed it. Of course, you can correct it in the lab. But not really.
Jean-Luc Godard
In Europe, the houses and the apartments are getting smaller. So there is no need to increase the screen because the apartment is becoming smaller.
Jean-Luc Godard
When sex gets problematic, the totalitarianist walks in.
Jean-Luc Godard
Reportage is interesting only when placed in a fictional context, but fiction is interesting only if it is validated by a documentary context.
Jean-Luc Godard
The way we have done pictures has to be disappeared.
Jean-Luc Godard
Film is truth 24 times a second, and every cut is a lie.
Jean-Luc Godard
Americans have no past, so they buy the pasts of others.
Jean-Luc Godard
Action can make you laugh. But just because you are glad. Even if there is no meaning.
Jean-Luc Godard
Because my movies are not successful, they are not shown. So I make a living from the budget.
Jean-Luc Godard
When I go in front of the light - go towards it - it is because it brings me energy. That's all.
Jean-Luc Godard
Film is like a personal diary, a notebook or a monologue by someone who tries to justify himself before a camera.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is movement, after all.
Jean-Luc Godard
The invention of photography. For whom? Against whom?
Jean-Luc Godard
I'm very interested in tennis, but when I try to tell younger players about [Bill] Tilden, they're not interested.
Jean-Luc Godard
He who jumps into the void owes no explanation to those who stand and watch.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start the cinema doesn't.
Jean-Luc Godard
