I'm Very Happy In France

I Like To Shoot Beautiful Things. My Two Previous Movies Were One In The '60s, The Other One In The '50s, And This One Is In The '20s. This Is A Period That's Very Cinegenic. The Cars, The Props, The Suits, The Haircuts, The Dresses, Everything, And It Gives You Pleasure To Compose Frames With That Material. The Music, I Really Love Jazz, So For Me, When You Have Good Materials And Nice Things, It's Very Pleasant.

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

I Am Unusual For A Frenchman - I Have Absolutely Nothing Against The United States.

I Make Almost All The Decisions On Set And Have To Deal With All The Financial Aspects.

I Guess All The Directors In France Are Influenced By Hitchcock, Because He's The Perfect Visual Director, In My Eyes.
