“What I have to say is very simple and very short: [Jean-Pierre Melville]’s the greatest director
I’ve had the good fortune, pleasure and honor to work with up to this point. It’d take too long to
explain. He’s wonderful. He knows more about cinema than anyone. He’s the greatest director I
know, the greatest cameraman, the best at framing and lighting, the best at everything. He’s a
living encyclopedia of cinema.”
