The Director
“Pierrot le fou was inspired by a novel by Lionel White,an American,a strange sort of guy. No formal education. He refused to sell the film rights. I don’t know why.He never had anything against the movies. I went to see him, I bought the rights.The film has nothing to do with the novel,but you have to admit that Americans know how to invent a story. That, I really like. You start a Hadley Chase novel, you don’t put it down until the end. The vegetable sellers, the cops, doormen, everybody over there knows how to make up stories.”- Jean-Luc Godard, Mon Pierrot le fou.
