- Quotes[2018 interview] I think we're going through a really precarious period in film production, and I very much fear that it's going to be a lot more difficult make my kind of cinema. If you make films that don't exactly announce themselves as surefire hits, you feel like you're walking a tightrope. There's less money overall, and more of it gets concentrated in the same few projects. In France, things are more difficult today than they were 10 years ago. A decade ago, Canal Plus would help finance a lot more productions. Moreover, there's been a recent inflation in terms of budgets and resources spent. I really don't want to partake in that trend. I don't want to take larger scale films in order to show my evolution as a director.
