I think there's not a lot of real filmmakers. There are only a few people who make real cinema. I can count them on my fingers.
From Bruno Dumont
I think that the cinema is a physical thing. What I'm looking for is creating a physical shock with the audience. I don't care of the meaning. I don't care of the idea. I don't want to say something. I want to make a 'shock physique.'
No movie can claim to be a work of philosophy. They fulfill a totally different need in people.
I'm not Catholic. I don't believe in God. But at the same time, I'm obsessed by the sacred, by spirituality. The question of redemption has been present well before Christianity, but as French people are a bit stupid, they see all that in religious terms.
To retain his dignity, an artist must live in opposition. He must be critical of his country. If not, then he is worthless.
Women exist in my imagination. So they are necessarily a type of abstraction. Many women criticise me for this vision, but I explain to them it's to be expected, because I am a man.
