Monica Bellucci

Strong, Understand, Silent

When I'm actually assembling a scene, I assemble it as a silent movie. Even if it's a dialog scene, I lip read what people are saying.
Walter Murch

Saying, Read, Silent

I always loved silent movies. I was not a specialist, but I loved them. And when I started directing, I became really fascinated by the format - how it works, the device of the silent movie. It's not the same form of expression as a talkie. The lack of sounds makes you participate in the storytelling.
Michel Hazanavicius

Movies, Same, Makes

Michel Hazanavicius

Tell, Story, Silent

Michel Hazanavicius

This is a universal, unique movie, it has potential to cross barriers. But we never thought about that on set, when we were doing the film.

Jean Dujardin

Thought, Making, Film

For you, it's a silent movie. For us, it's a talking movie because we had lines on set. There's a lot of noise on set and music. We spoke in English, in French, in gibberish, but it was very alive. The challenge was tap dancing.
Jean Dujardin

Music, Challenge, Alive
