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
Europe has memories, America has t-shirts.
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
Film is like a personal diary, a notebook or a monologue by someone who tries to justify himself before a camera.
Jean-Luc Godard
In films, we are trained by the American way of moviemaking to think we must understand and 'get' everything right away. But this is not possible. When you eat a potato, you don't understand each atom of the potato!
Jean-Luc Godard
I don't know if I am free because I am happy or happy because I am free.
Jean-Luc Godard
When there's 100 people around you can't really forget yourself.
Jean-Luc Godard
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but rather the phrasing of moments.
Jean-Luc Godard
To live in society today is like living in one enormous comic-strip.
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.
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
I learned from Rossellini that you are rich even if you have a little money.
Jean-Luc Godard
When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.
Jean-Luc Godard
I don't think I've succeeded in making any really good films. There are moments, scenes, whole movements that sing. It has all added up to a cinema of sorts, even though I'm still learning my art.
Jean-Luc Godard
I think I'm innocently representing a certain belief in motion pictures, and, well OK.
Jean-Luc Godard
In the beginning there was not even talking. In movies, there was no need for that. Because it was more evident if there was no talking. Only in sports does there remain this fervor, which can even become violent. There's this desire to see something big.
Jean-Luc Godard
He who jumps into the void owes no explanation to those who stand and watch.
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
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.
