denis-editing

September 7, 2024

…for me, cinema is not made to give a psychological explanation, for me cinema is montage, is editing. To make blocks of impressions or emotion meet with another block of impression or emotion and put in between pieces of explanation, to me it’s boring… As a spectator, when I see a movie one block leads me to another block of inner emotion, I think that’s cinema. That’s an encounter… I think that making films for me is to get rid of explanation… you get explanation by getting rid of explanation. I am sure of that.

Thought:

“People often ask me: ‘Can you hear what you write? Are you surprised by what you write?’ The thing that surprises me is never the sound — I’m not a sound composer, I don’t go for special effects like that — what surprises me is how the piece speaks, how it unfolds and tells its story. That’s always a surprise.”
