More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard
American pictures usually have no subject, only a story. A pretty woman is not a subject. Julia Roberts doing this and that is not a subject.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is truth 24 frames-per-second.

Jean-Luc Godard
The average income in France is $1,000 a month, and you can't live decently on that.
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
Photography is truth...and cinema is truth 24 times a second.
Jean-Luc Godard
I don't know if I am free because I am happy or happy because I am free.
Jean-Luc Godard
One must confront vague ideas with clear images.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.
Jean-Luc Godard
I am a painter with letters. I want to restore everything, mix everything up and say everything.
Jean-Luc Godard
Americans have no past, so they buy the pasts of others.
