Philippe Claudel Quotes: It's always been difficult for
My work is very controlled. I leave nothing to chance. Chance comes afterward ... Making a film is like cooking a pot au feu. You choose the best carrots, the best potatoes the best meat, etc., and you throw all that together - but if there's no soul, so to speak, it won't yield much.
Philippe Claudel Quotes: My work is very controlled.
