Bertrand Tavernier's quotes

When I do a film, I like to not only be involved with the emotion, but also the context around the character. I want to show the environment and I want, sometimes, to deal with social and political issues because they are organic to the jobs of people.
I've been lucky. Almost everything I've done I wanted to make passionately. It's not so much the case if you work in America.
[on Isabelle Huppert] I think when Isabelle is funny... she is the best French actress of her generation. This year, she did two films that were really wonderful, very funny.
[In a 1983 interview] ... I can understand why American audiences sometimes find foreign films too long because they are complicated films that you have to pay attention to.
