Favorite Jean Pierre Melville Quotes

1. "My love for cinema began with the talkies, around 1929 or '30.

It was the first time I'd heard talking cinema. At that moment I fell madly in love." ~ Jean Pierre Melville

4. "I move from realism to fantasy without the spectator ever noticing." ~ Jean Pierre Melville
5. "I believe you must be madly in love with cinema to create films. You also need a huge cinematic baggage." ~ Jean Pierre Melville
