Louis Malle quotes
" Filmmakers don't work for posterity. We create with celluloid and chemical pigments that don't last very long. They fade away. In 200 years there will be nothing left of our work but dust. "

Louis Malle
" I didn't feel like going any further in this scene with the boy. He was not a professional actor, and if I had pushed the scene any further it would have destroyed the tone of the movie. "

Louis Malle
" It was not about my mother, of course. It was about a kind of idealized fantasy mother. Young boys hypothesize when young. "

Louis Malle
" Just because the movie is about incest does not make it autobiographical. Yes, I have a mother, but that does not make me unique. "

Louis Malle
" My brother and I have been playing a little parlor game. We ask ourselves how other directors would have ended this movie. What Fellini would have done. Bergman. Antonioni. "

Louis Malle
" Suddenly this idea came to me for a film about incest. It was almost a daydream. I wrote out 60 or 70 pages in a few days. I showed them to friends, got a warm reaction, decided to make the film. "

Louis Malle
" The Oedipus complex is like a joke. It takes years to discover that there is a dream ideal, an initiating mother, in our subconscious. "

Louis Malle
" The problem was to somehow de-dramatize the highly-charged emotional materials we were working on. They were so loaded they could have destroyed the whole balance of the movie. "

Louis Malle
" Well, Fellini... there is always Fellini. "

Louis Malle
" When you are working on a script, the story itself is not difficult. You say this would happen and then this, resulting perhaps in this. And the dialogue you make as true as you can. "

Louis Malle
" You must find the note, the correct key, for your story. If you find it, everything will work. If you do not, everything will stick out like elbows. "
