I Only Have One Obsession - Not

I Watched A Lot Of Movies From All Over The World. The Russians Were Very Good At Editing. They Were Specialists In Editing. The Man With A Camera, If You Know That Movie, Is Incredible. I Still Don't Understand How It Works. It's A Movie With No Script, No Actors And Still It Works. It's Really Good. It's Really About Editing.

Usually, When You Do A Period Movie, You Just Recreate What You Are Shooting. You Don't Recreate The Way You Shoot It. I Think I Did The Same Thing Here As I Did In The Oss 117 Movies. I Recreated The Way To Shoot That Period, Because To Me, Like What I Was Saying About The Steadicam, There's No Sense To Do A Steadicam Shot In The 1920s Because You Have Never Seen The '20s Like That. You Can't Believe There Was A Steadicam In The 1920s. I Believe It's A Continuation Of The Oss 117 In A Way But Without The Irony.

I Think There's Something In Common With The Oss 117 Movies. The Big Difference Is There's No Irony In This One. It's Not Parody. I Tried To Make It Very Simple. It's A Simple Story, But To Be Simple, It's Very Complex In The Way It's Done.

I Looked At A Lot Of Photos From Hollywood In The '20s, Photographs Of Silent Movies Being Filmed All Over The World Which Are Very Specific And Very Evocative. Berenice, The Lead Actress, Is My Wife. She Really Followed The Same Path With Me.

It's Not My Job. The Weinstein Company, It's Their Job To Convince People. My Job Was To Make The Movie. That's What I Did. I Know What We Did In France Was To Have The Maximum Screenings Just To Let People Talk About The Movie And Say They Enjoyed The Movie.
