Costa-Gavras Quotes

Aggressive capitalism leads the world, and we can see the results, especially in Europe: more poverty for the vast majority, and more riches for a few Picture Quote #1

I initially studied literature [in France], and then I went to cinema school. I discovered the Cinematheque, and saw not only action movies and westerns, but also lots of serious movies Picture Quote #1

Essentially, filmmakers have to be free and not directed by power or politicians Picture Quote #1

We saw what happens with Bolsheviks. It was another catastrophe. I don’t have the solution. The moviemaker can ask questions but not give solutions Picture Quote #1

This crisis started probably due to the freedom they gave to the banks. First President [Ronald] Reagan and then President [Bill] Clinton. So, for [Barack] Obama it is extremely difficult to change now, to find a way to organize this banking system [differently] Picture Quote #1

Sometimes there are leftwing governments I’m very critical of. For me, being leftwing is to live in a society where there’s permanent change. It also means to respect the freedom of everybody, and to not accept big organizations or rich, powerful people holding power Picture Quote #1

My life in Greece influenced what I am. My father was in the left because he was against the king and his family, who had created a war against the Turks at the beginning of the last century to revive the Byzantine Empire. For three years, there was fighting, and all my father’s friends died. So he hated the royal family Picture Quote #1

[Akiro] Kurosawa, no doubt, was a big influence. Movies sometimes more than directors have influenced me: The Grapes of Wrath, by John Ford, was an extraordinary discovery. Sergei Eisenstein, of course. Later on, [Ingmar] Bergman Picture Quote #1

The American influence is not so aggressive anymore. The American big business influence in Latin America is not as strong, so people can vote and they can have a different life than before. They can have more liberal, more interesting, and more democratic governments Picture Quote #1
