Bruno Dumont Quotes & Sayings (Page 2)
Bruno Dumont quotes and sayings page 2 (director). Here's quote # 11 through 20 out of the 28 we have for him.
“Cinema is made to film material: the body. By filming the material, the mechanical, the worker, we arrive at the spiritual.”
“Each role demands the right actor. To play an artist, one must be an artist.”
“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.”
“No movie can claim to be a work of philosophy. They fulfill a totally different need in people.”
“I don't want actors to know anything. The more they are lost, the better they play.”
“Your relationship to a film, and to cinema, is very much determined by yourself, so what is relevant is you.”
“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.”
“The actor already comes with emotions to the scene: fear, the fear of being in front of the camera. It is this fear that spurs the emotion of the scene. I too am afraid; I don't know exactly what I am searching for. On the set, we are all participating in this fear together.”
“The people follow what the media say. So if you said that Bruno Dumont is fantastic, it follows that more people would go to see my films. I have no wish to remain on the sidelines. I have no wish to make films that are only seen by bohemians in London and Paris.”
“Women exist in my imagination. So they are necessarily a type of abstraction. Many women criticise me for this vision, but I explain to them it's to be expected, because I am a man.”
