French People Are Strange About America, I

It's About Storytelling. The Story Is Told Through Images. So With The Cast, I Had To Make Sure That The Emotions Were Readable Without Sound... I Know Some Great Actors, If You Turn Off The Sound, You Don't Really Know What They're Saying

I Love Silent Cinema But Don't Hold It Sacred. Like Any Branch Of Film There Are Some Very Boring Films Alongside The Masterpieces.

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

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.

Robert Deniro, Who May Be The Greatest Living Actor, Usually Acts In A Way Which Is Very Stone-faced, Like Steve Mcqueen. For Example, Steve Mcqueen, If You Cut The Sound, You Don't Know What He's Acting Really. He Gives To The Lines, To The Text, Something Very Special, And He's Very Good. He Was A Great Actor. But, To Do A Silent Movie, You Have To Have More Expressive Actors.
