“Everything else seemed so pretentious, so we were always trying to do stuff that was totally unjustifiable.”
Agnès Jaoui
“For us, the main theme of “Let It Rain” was how all these people, with their different subjects and problems, the common agent is that they all feel the victim of something and they all need to be recognized in their pain. People say, ‘I suffered, I suffered,’ sometimes forgetting others are suffering too.”
Guy Debord

John Carpenter
“In France, I'm an auteur; in Germany, a filmmaker; in Britain, a genre film director; and, in the USA, a bum.”
Alain Robbe-Grillet
“A new form will always seem more or less an absence of any form at all, since it is unconsciously judged by reference to the consecrated forms.”
Penelope Spheeris
“I generally think about myself as someone who studies human behavior and is trying to figure out what the hell is going on in our current society. If I can leave any film that helps define a certain time after I'm dead then that's great.”
