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. Bruno Dumont actorafraidcamera share on social
Your relationship to a film, and to cinema, is very much determined by yourself, so what is relevant is you. Bruno Dumont cinemadeterminefilm Change image and share on social
I don't watch my own past films: when I watch them, I find they don't work very well, because I have changed. If I continue to make films, in fact, it is because I always want to repair my films. My inner rhythm has changed; I have changed. I have changed my way to film. Bruno Dumont changecontinuefact share on social
There is no god. I am an atheist. It is up to us to become God. We need to be elevated, to become saints. God alienates people from themselves. Bruno Dumont alienateatheistelevate Change image and share on social
Hollywood films are alienating to the spectator because they use too much dialogue, too much explication and leave no space for the viewer. They depress me. Bruno Dumont alienatedepressdialogue Change image and share on social
I'm not Catholic. I don't believe in God. But at the same time, I'm obsessed by the sacred, by spirituality. The question of redemption has been present well before Christianity, but as French people are a bit stupid, they see all that in religious terms.

I think that the cinema is a physical thing. What I'm looking for is creating a physical shock with the audience. I don't care of the meaning. I don't care of the idea. I don't want to say something. I want to make a 'shock physique.' Bruno Dumont audiencecarecinema share on social
