  • Quotes
    [on Nelly et Mr. Arnaud (1995)] You put in details from your own life without actually wanting to do so expressly. I recognise that I have gone through a lot of the stages described in the film. I've known ennui, I've known misogyny, I've known misanthropy. I've gone through periods where one protects oneself as though one has been living in a fortress. I've known the moments when one is uncertain about everything in life.
  • Trademarks
      His movies often involved musicians and classical music
