More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
Photography is truth.
Jean-Luc Godard
When we talked, I talked about me, you talked about you, when we should have talked about each other.
Jean-Luc Godard
When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.
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 there's 100 people around you can't really forget yourself.
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
Cinema is capitalism in its purest form.... There is only one solution - turn one's back on American cinema.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but rather the phrasing of moments.
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
Film is truth 24 times a second, and every cut is a lie.
Jean-Luc Godard
Poetry is a game of loser-take-all.
Jean-Luc Godard
Americans have no past, so they buy the pasts of others.
Jean-Luc Godard
There are different kinds of painting, some with lights and some without, but still if you look at any painting here (in the light) and then over here (out of the light) it's an entirely different thing. The consciousness of this came to the Impressionists and I'm very interested in that.
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
On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better.
Jean-Luc Godard
Photography is truth...and cinema is truth 24 times a second.
Jean-Luc Godard
The fact is that, unless you are very good, most first movies are too long, and you lose your rhythm and your audience over two or three hours.
Jean-Luc Godard
If you want to make a documentary you should automatically go to the fiction, and if you want to nourish your fiction you have to come back to reality.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.
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
