"Cinema as the art of reading. The child thief spared. The joy of telling a movie rather than fabricating it."

"Restrained vocabulary, uncertain grammar, a failure of being understood that's accepted from the start – but the pleasure is participating in the conversation despite everything."

"Pagnol invents French dialogue. Theater of the people. Brutal and messy melodrama..."

"Duras reads like no one else. Films like no one else. Image then sound. The great separation. Depardieu huddled up. The disaster of fiction as the ultimate destination of cinema."

"I dream to one day succeed at making a film as profound, nonchalant, intelligent, and delicate as Yi Yi. A film like the end of an afternoon observed and imagined behind the windowpane of a mall café."

"A film to live in. A film in which I can spend evenings and afternoons smoking, reading and sleeping. I’ve tried a hundred times to remake a Jarmusch tracking shot, I’ve never gotten close. They move at a speed that belongs only to him. Jarmusch is the metronome of a precious melancholy."

"Characters and film alike seem to search for masters over which to reign. Everything is at once soft and poisonous, clear and uncertain. Sensual and cold. It is all irresistible."
