“When I was a child, I had a ViewMaster, those red box glasses with little discs, so that you can see 3D images. They were my first steps in cinema. I was eight years old, I would cut and change the order of the images and that's how I created films that subsequently I recorded and projected and showed my friends. So I already took my first steps in 3D when I was eight years old.” YearsFirstsChildrenLittlesFilmOrderStepsCuttingMy FriendsRedGlassesBoxesEightCinemaFirst StepsDiscs Author:Jean-Pierre Jeunet
“For me, the most important word in cinema is the word freedom. For example, in Europe, we've got freedom, we've got the final cut and that's something which is marvellous.” ImportantCuttingExampleEuropeFinalsCinemaMarvellousImportant Words Author:Jean-Pierre Jeunet
“This is one of the things I don't like so much about French cinema - we have tendency to concentrate on actors and dialogue and we don't care so much about the visual aspect. I love when you use all the elements at your disposal.” UseCareActorsElementsAspectDon't CareDialogueTendenciesCinemaVisualsFrench Cinema Author:Jean-Pierre Jeunet
“I like the cinema of people like Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton. I am not keen on trying to reproduce reality - for that you should do documentaries.” PeopleShouldTryingRealityCinemaDocumentaries Author:Jean-Pierre Jeunet
“I love science fiction but I don't like fantastic [cinema]. For example, if you have a magical ring and you can explode the world with it. What are we talking about? You know, it's not interesting. I don't like Lord of the Rings. Even Star Wars, for me, I don't understand this kind of story. But Alien, because the rules of the game are very precise, it could happen. I love science fiction. I have an idea about robots in the future.” IfsKnowsWorldKindIdeasWarStoriesHappensGamesStarsInterestingFictionTalkingLordExampleScience FictionRingsAliensFantasticCinemaPreciseRobotsRules Of The GameScience Love Author:Jean-Pierre Jeunet
