But Sometimes I Think You Have To

I Watched A Lot Of Silent Directors Who Were Absolutely Great Like John Ford And Fritz Lang, Tod Browning, And Also Some Very Modern Directors Like The Coen Brothers. The Directors Take The Freedom Within Their Own Movies To Be Melodramatic Or Funny When They Chose To Be. They Do Whatever They Want And They Don't Care About The Genre.

I Can Say Is Usually People Are Slightly Confused. They Think That Silent Movies Are Old. But, The Fact Is, They Are Old Because They Have Been Made In The '20s. That's The Thing That Makes Them Old. Not The Format. The Format Is Just A Format. It's Not An Old Format.

I Think Hollywood Is Cleverer Than You Think. I'm Not Sure They Will Do It. I Don't Think So, But Maybe I'm Wrong. When We Were Doing The Preparation Of The Movie, We Didn't Have All The Money So We Were Looking For All The Solutions Possible, And 3d Was One Option.

Hollywood Is Much More Than America. Hollywood Belongs To All Of The Planet.

It's Just Incredible. When You're French, Coming From A Non-english Language Country, You Don't Even Dream About Oscar Recognition Or Nominations. It's Just Beyond The Dream. It's Something Very, Very Special And Unique. It's The Highest Recognition Any Filmmaker Could Dream Of
