Quotes
When I do a film, I like to not only be involved with the emotion, but
also the context around the character. I want to show the environment
and I want, sometimes, to deal with social and political issues because
they are organic to the jobs of people.
Trademarks
Often casts Philippe Noiret and Jean-Pierre Marielle
