More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard
A critic is a soldier that fires on his own men.
Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard
We are losing our own capacity because we are poisoned in one way or another.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema teaches us about the human body and how we look at things.
Jean-Luc Godard
To be only spectacular should be 5 or 10 percent of cinema.
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
Film is like a personal diary, a notebook or a monologue by someone who tries to justify himself before a camera.
Jean-Luc Godard
Film is truth 24 times a second, and every cut is a lie.
Jean-Luc Godard
Europe has memories, America has t-shirts.
