Bruno Dumont Quotes

Matching character and actor is what a good director does Picture Quote #1

An actor is an instrument. One needs to control them Picture Quote #1

There is no God. I am an atheist. It is up to us to become God. We need to be elevated, to become saints. God alienates people from themselves Picture Quote #1

The battle between two men over a girl is the same as the fight for two men over a piece of land. It is all about desire. There is no difference between a love triangle and the conflict between Israel and Palestine Picture Quote #1

You can’t create a movie as you think about it. And what’s in the scene is not what’s being seen. A shot always means something other than what it is. All are vehicles. A landscape is just a vehicle. The viewer might think different things, and I’m not going to intervene Picture Quote #1

Cinema builds memories; great films continue to exist in the spectator’s mind. We are naturally capable of and prone to nostalgia. A spectator will reconstruct a film he or she has seen, years later, and may even change their original opinion. One critic, for example, once gave the finger to one of my films; later he wrote me to apologize Picture Quote #1

I think there’s not a lot of real filmmakers. There are only a few people who make real cinema. I can count them on my fingers Picture Quote #1

I’m not Catholic. I don’t believe in God. But at the same time, I’m obsessed by the sacred, by spirituality. The question of redemption has been present well before Christianity, but as French people are a bit stupid, they see all that in religious terms Picture Quote #1

Hollywood films are alienating to the spectator because they use too much dialogue, too much explication and leave no space for the viewer. They depress me. I use direct sound, mono not stereo. Just direct sound, so for every shot there are only two sources. Sound creates an intimate effect: the sensation to feel the place. It makes the viewer enter. You have the liberty to hear what you want Picture Quote #1

To retain his dignity, an artist must live in opposition. He must be critical of his country. If not, then he is worthless Picture Quote #1

Sound creates an intimate effect: the sensation to feel the place. It makes the viewer enter. You have the liberty to hear what you want Picture Quote #1

Cinema is all about going back from shadow to light and back and forth: cinema is a place of transgression Picture Quote #1
