The photo is true. A movie is true 24 times per second.

Cinema is the most beautiful deception in the world.

All you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun.

I don’t think you need to feel the film. You have to feel like a woman, not a movie. You can’t kiss a movie.

You don’t make the movie, the movies make you.

Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but a formulation of moments.

I don’t know anything about life except what I know through movies.

Sometimes reality is very complex. Stories give it shape.

A story must have a beginning, a middle, and an end—not necessarily in that order.

I almost always say: “Let’s do what has not been done yet.”

It’s not where you get things from that matters, but where you get them from.

Three-quarters of directors spend 4 hours filming a scene that actually takes 5 minutes. I prefer to work 5 minutes with a film crew and have 3 hours to think.

Cinema is not a construct. This is art. This does not mean teamwork. Someone is always alone on the set, as if in front of a blank page. And being alone means asking questions. And making films means responding to them.

I feel sorry for French cinema because it has no money. I feel sorry for the American because he has no ideas.

I want to be with everyone, but be alone.

I’m trying to change the world.

The world is not a sad place, it’s just a big one.

The one who jumps into the void has nothing to explain to those who stand and watch.

For most of my career, I made films that no one wanted to see.

To live or not to live. This is not a real question.
