The convergence of the Rhone and Saone. Paul Bocuse. The birthplace of cinema. Chateauneuf-du-Pape just a few miles down the road. It does not get much better than Lyon.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up watching a lot of French cinema.
French cinema has always been very interesting, and it's still very powerful. I think it goes to show that it's great to still have a cinema that doesn't try to emulate, for example, American cinema.
The cinema occupies an important place in the overall development of art and literature.
All my life, I have loved and been inspired by French cinema, and as a studio head it has been my pride and joy to have the ability to bring movies to audiences around the world.
I was born at a bad time for Spain, but a really good one for cinema.
'Napoleon' is pure cinema, and cinema was designed for sharing.
I began to see cinema as the perfect combination of so many wonderful art forms - painting, photography, music, dance, theater.
I'm very happy in France making movies.
For me, those little cinemas in Paris where I saw many art films for the first time meant that cinema became a kind of pilgrimage site.
I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.
