French Movies Quotes

Michel Hazanavicius quote: "Sure, I watched a lot of Hollywood movies. Maybe I've seen..."
Sure, I watched a lot of Hollywood movies. Maybe I've seen more Hollywood movies than French movies. Michel Hazanavicius
Very often with an American movie, the end is very happy and you just feel good when you go out. When you go to a French movie, it's kind of like, oh!, and you can't go out; you're stuck in your chair. It goes so deeply inside of the heart. Emmanuelle Beart
I was picked up on a London street by a model agent. She took me to her office and then sent me to Paris to work in shows. It was supposed to be two weeks, but I ended up living there with my Zimbabwean boyfriend. I made enough money modeling and acting in French movies to buy a nice flat. Saffron Burrows
Jean-Jacques Annaud quote: "The world distribution of French movies is a laughing matter...."
The world distribution of French movies is a laughing matter. That is a fact. Jean-Jacques Annaud
But the cinephile is … a neurotic! (That’s not a pejorative term.) The Bronte sisters were neurotic, and it’s because they were neurotic that they read all those books and became writers. The famous French advertising slogan that says, “When you love life, you go to the movies,” it’s false! It’s exactly the opposite: when you don’t love life, or when life doesn’t give you satisfaction, you go to the movies. Francois Truffaut
This is a universal, unique movie, it has potential to cross barriers. But we never thought about that on set, when we were doing the film. We knew that in making a silent movie, we were doing something a little bit under the wire, a bit interdit. It's a pastiche, but for the French taste, you would have thought. Jean Dujardin
For you, it's a silent movie. For us, it's a talking movie because we had lines on set. There's a lot of noise on set and music. We spoke in English, in French, in gibberish, but it was very alive. The challenge was tap dancing. Jean Dujardin
Jean-Jacques Annaud quote: "When Americans shoot movies they aim at the entire planet...."
When Americans shoot movies they aim at the entire planet. When the French make movies, they aim at Paris. Jean-Jacques Annaud
In movies, there are some things the French do that Americans are increasingly incapable of doing. One is honoring the complexities of youth. It's a quiet, difficult undertaking, requiring subtlety in a filmmaker and perception and patience from us. Wesley Morris
Of course the French are making very credible movies and it is still one of the greatest nations in terms of world cinema but the real problem is the decay in film criticism. Wim Wenders
All my life, I have loved and been inspired by French cinema, and as a studio head it has been my pride and joy to have the ability to bring movies to audiences around the world. Harvey Weinstein
When I make an American movie it's going to come out all over the world-it doesn't happen the same way for an Italian film or a French film. Monica Bellucci
Emmanuelle Beart quote: "After 10 years of French torture - psychological torture -..."
After 10 years of French torture - psychological torture - it's great to do an American movie. Emmanuelle Beart
When a French book becomes an international hit it is because of the author and not because of the language. The same goes for movies. Jean-Jacques Annaud
