Bernard Herrmann Was A Genius, A Great,

I Looked At A Lot Of Photos From Hollywood In The '20s, Photographs Of Silent Movies Being Filmed All Over The World Which Are Very Specific And Very Evocative. Berenice, The Lead Actress, Is My Wife. She Really Followed The Same Path With Me.

I Watched A Lot Of Silent Directors Who Were Absolutely Great Like John Ford And Fritz Lang, Tod Browning, And Also Some Very Modern Directors Like The Coen Brothers. The Directors Take The Freedom Within Their Own Movies To Be Melodramatic Or Funny When They Chose To Be. They Do Whatever They Want And They Don't Care About The Genre.

I Think Being A Foreigner And Talking About Hollywood Allowed Me To Use Some Cliches And Some References That An American Would Maybe Not Use.

I'm Very Happy In France Making Movies.

Bernard Herrmann Was A Genius, A Great, Great Composer.
