More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
People come to Cannes just to advertise their films, not with a particular message. But the advantage is that if you go to the festival, you get so much press coverage in three days that it advertises the film for the rest of the year.
Jean-Luc Godard
Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.
Jean-Luc Godard
People like to say, 'What do you mean exactly?' I would answer, 'I mean, but not exactly.'
Jean-Luc Godard
Americans have no past, so they buy the pasts of others.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is truth 24 frames-per-second.
Jean-Luc Godard
Europe has memories, America has t-shirts.
Jean-Luc Godard
Photography is truth.
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 truth 24 times a second, and every cut is a lie.
Jean-Luc Godard
We are losing our own capacity because we are poisoned in one way or another.
Jean-Luc Godard
This new world which is being born is cynical and amnesiac. And it has eliminated perspective.
Jean-Luc Godard
Why must one talk? Often one shouldn't talk, but live in silence. The more one talks, the less the words mean. (Nana Kleinfrankenheim, Vivre Sa Vie)
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
When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.
Jean-Luc Godard
I don't think I've succeeded in making any really good films. There are moments, scenes, whole movements that sing. It has all added up to a cinema of sorts, even though I'm still learning my art.
Jean-Luc Godard
I'm satisfied to have an ordinary success and an ordinary life and an ordinary income. Later, I don't know.
Jean-Luc Godard
In films, we are trained by the American way of moviemaking to think we must understand and 'get' everything right away. But this is not possible. When you eat a potato, you don't understand each atom of the potato!
Jean-Luc Godard
I have a large number of cassettes, but I look at them mainly for reference purposes.
Jean-Luc Godard
I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.
Jean-Luc Godard
Something that I like in movies, and I dislike too, is that they can't be projected well.
Jean-Luc Godard
