I Love Silent Cinema But Don't Hold

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 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.

I Guess George Clooney Would Be A Wonderful Silent Actor, And Leonardo Dicaprio Is Such A Wonderful Actor He Certainly Could Do It.

I Always Loved Silent Movies. I Was Not A Specialist, But I Loved Them. And When I Started Directing, I Became Really Fascinated By The Format - How It Works, The Device Of The Silent Movie. It's Not The Same Form Of Expression As A Talkie. The Lack Of Sounds Makes You Participate In The Storytelling

I Want To Thank Three Person: I Want To Thank Billy Wilder. I Want To Thank Billy Wilder. And I Want To Thank Billy Wilder.
