“When you make movies, you have to be preoccupied with the social probl...” — Bruno Dumont Quote

“When you make movies, you have to be preoccupied with the social problems, otherwise there is no point in making a movie. To have a story, you need a social problem. Not necessarily a problem, but something to get the idea for a story, otherwise there's no story.”

“Cinema is made to film material: the body. By filming the material, the mechanical, the worker, we arrive at the spiritual.”

“You can't create a movie as you think about it. And what's in the scene is not what's being seen. A shot always means something other than what it is. All are vehicles. A landscape is just a vehicle. The viewer might think different things, and I'm not going to intervene.”

“Every scholar, I presume, is not, necessarily, a man of sense.”

“I think that's so strange, because they do know that we're all actors and we perform things that have not necessarily anything to do with us personally.”

“People still believe what they read is necessarily the truth.”
