Bernard Herrmann Was A Genius, A Great,

Usually, When You Do A Period Movie, You Just Recreate What You Are Shooting. You Don't Recreate The Way You Shoot It. I Think I Did The Same Thing Here As I Did In The Oss 117 Movies. I Recreated The Way To Shoot That Period, Because To Me, Like What I Was Saying About The Steadicam, There's No Sense To Do A Steadicam Shot In The 1920s Because You Have Never Seen The '20s Like That. You Can't Believe There Was A Steadicam In The 1920s. I Believe It's A Continuation Of The Oss 117 In A Way But Without The Irony.

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.

But I Don't Think Of Myself As A Foreigner Or A Frenchman! I Just Think Of Myself As A Director. Whether I'm French Or Australian Or Whatever, It's Really Not Important.

I'm Very Happy In France Making Movies.

I Think Being A Foreigner And Talking About Hollywood Allowed Me To Use Some Cliches And Some References That An American Would Maybe Not Use.
