Quotes by Michel Hazanavicius

I think we are at the very beginning of high changes, not only in terms of digital film, but in the way the movies will be screened, whether theyll be screened on phones, on computers - on everything.

I thought The Artist was a perfect way to find a good balance. The artistic challenge is obvious because the film is black-and-white and its silent, but I did my best to make the movie accessible and easy to watch. I really dont want to make elitist movies. I really try hard to work for the audience. Audiences are smart. They get everything.

I always loved silent movies. I was not a specialist, but I loved them. And when I started directing, I became really fascinated by the format - how it works, the device of the silent movie. Its not the same form of expression as a talkie. The lack of sounds makes you participate in the storytelling.
