people want serious-subjects
I wanted to catch the problem of consumption, waste, poor people eating what we throw away, which is a big subject. But I didn't want to become a sociologue, an ethnographe, a serious thinker. I thought I should be free, even in a documentary which has a very serious subject.
memories everyday special
Nostalgia doesn't make sense, because it's like bringing the memories back to be a special part of my day or to be part of my week. And I'm inside my memories the same way I'm inside my everyday life.
memories mind nostalgic
I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.
want nostalgia sometimes
Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don't want time to come back.
people missing nostalgia
I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.
white-hair color punk
I hated myself totally white. So now I cheat. It's my white hair, and I put color there. My grandson says I'm punk.
strange painting young
[Pablo] Picasso really changed my life. It's strange to say so, but I started to see some Picasso paintings very early. I was very young, and he was not so much known.
squares use dry
When I did the first edit of Les plages, it was very dry and very square in a way. I was just saying the minimum. I said, Well, if this is the minimum, I don't make it. So I tried to make it more refined. I tried to find images, allegorical images, that I could use to express things that I didn't want to say or didn't want to show or I was not able to find how to show.
movie forever cinema
I live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
