Zitat des Tages von Claude Chabrol:
There's one thing which I hate about color films... people who use up a lot of their despairing producer's money by working in the laboratory to bring out the dominant hues, or to make color films where there isn't any color.
I'm not wild about hand-held shots.
Laying tracks gives you freedom without being too obvious.
I love mirrors. They let one pass through the surface of things.
We live in an era where pizzas show up faster than the police.
A woman confronting men is a proper subject, it is inexhaustible.
Films with a message just make me laugh.
I brought the film like a flower to the world.
I like making black and white films in natural surroundings, but I much prefer shooting a color film inside a studio where the colors are easier to control.
A woman is subject matter enough.
There is no new wave, only the sea.
You have to accept the fact that sometimes you are the pigeon, and sometimes you are the statue.
I'm not pessimistic about people in general, but only about the way they live.
First I went to the Sorbonne to do my licence en lettres, but I also started to study law.
It's often wrong to write for specific actors because one ends up using what is least interesting about them, their mannerisms and habits. I prefer not to write for specific people.
I remember an article, I can't recall who by, it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which said that now the Wall was down, there could be no more class war. Only someone with money could ever say such a thing.
I wanted to make a film about stupid people that was very vulgar and deeply stupid. From that moment on I can hardly be reproached for making a film that is about stupid people.
To observe a profoundly stupid individual can be very enriching, and that's why we should never feel contempt for them.
Some colors are very difficult to render, and you must compensate to get the color you want on the screen.
