Bernard Herrmann Was A Genius, A Great,

I Watched A Lot Of Movies From All Over The World. The Russians Were Very Good At Editing. They Were Specialists In Editing. The Man With A Camera, If You Know That Movie, Is Incredible. I Still Don't Understand How It Works. It's A Movie With No Script, No Actors And Still It Works. It's Really Good. It's Really About Editing.

First Of All, I Had The Desire For That Format [silent Movie], And Then When I Was Talking To People, I Felt That People Needed Justification. Why Are You Doing A Silent Movie? Is It Just For Your Own Pleasure? I Felt It Was Not Enough For Them So I Realized I Have To Choose The Subject That Will Make Things Easier For Them And To Tell The Story Of A Silent Actor Makes Sense For Doing A Silent Movie.

French People Are Strange About America, I Think.

I Looked At A Lot Of Photos From Hollywood In The '20s, Photographs Of Silent Movies Being Filmed All Over The World Which Are Very Specific And Very Evocative. Berenice, The Lead Actress, Is My Wife. She Really Followed The Same Path With Me.

Sure, I Watched A Lot Of Hollywood Movies. Maybe I've Seen More Hollywood Movies Than French Movies
