More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
When I have a low budget I always try to make it a lesson in economy.
Jean-Luc Godard
Something that I like in movies, and I dislike too, is that they can't be projected well.
Jean-Luc Godard
The invention of photography. For whom? Against whom?
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
The way we have done pictures has to be disappeared.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is capitalism in its purest form.... There is only one solution - turn one's back on American cinema.
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
Living, it can be sad too.
Jean-Luc Godard
Once we know the number one, we believe that we know the number two, because one plus one equals two. We forget that first we must know the meaning of plus.
Jean-Luc Godard
the movie is not a thing which is taken by the camera the movie is the reality of the movie moving from reality to the camera.
Jean-Luc Godard
To live in society today is like living in one enormous comic-strip.
Jean-Luc Godard
I make film to make time pass.
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
Photography is truth.
Jean-Luc Godard
Suddenly, I don't know what to say. It happens often to me. I know what I want to say, I think about whether it is what I mean, but when the moment comes to speak, I can't say it. - 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
I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.
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
The silent film, it was cut at the age of thirty.
Jean-Luc Godard
Words and action in movies are the spirit or the mind. And these days the body is almost completely forgotten. In the beginning the body - nature - was more part of the action.
Jean-Luc Godard
