The way we have done pictures has to be disappeared.
Jean-Luc Godard
Image
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.

Photography could have been invented in color. Colors existed.

I am nowhere. You can call me the man in the middle.

Image
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.
