More quotes by Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard
In movies, comedy and tragedy are all the same.
Jean-Luc Godard

Photography is truth...and cinema is truth 24 times a second.
Jean-Luc Godard

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
On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better.
Jean-Luc Godard
Europe has memories, America has t-shirts.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.
Jean-Luc Godard
The average income in France is $1,000 a month, and you can't live decently on that.

Film is truth 24 times a second, and every cut is a lie.
