An Idea Is Something You Work On

I'm Very Happy In France Making Movies.

I Thought 'the Artist' Was A Perfect Way To Find A Good Balance. The Artistic Challenge Is Obvious Because The Film Is Black-and-white And Its Silent, But I Did My Best To Make The Movie Accessible And Easy To Watch. I Really Don't Want To Make Elitist Movies. I Really Try Hard To Work For The Audience. Audiences Are Smart. They Get Everything.

I Love Silent Cinema But Don't Hold It Sacred. Like Any Branch Of Film There Are Some Very Boring Films Alongside The Masterpieces.

Finally, You're Right About One Point, Your Entire Way Of Thinking Is Predicted By What You're Immersed In So You Know You Won't Make A Bad Decision. You Can Make A Bad Decision But It's Still In The Good Sphere Normally If You Work Well. You're Prepared To Face A Crew Who Wants To Know Everything And Poses A Hundred Questions A Minute, Because You Know You Have Good Reflexes And Can Respond Very Quickly.

I Guess All The Directors In France Are Influenced By Hitchcock, Because He's The Perfect Visual Director, In My Eyes.
