My first three films [Boy Meets Girl, Mauvais Sang, Les Amants du Pont-Neuf] were very much about love and very much about youth, and in a way I was trying to tell stories that didn’t exist in contemporary cinema... I was very inspired by silent cinema, by people like Murnau, and also by the French New Wave, Godard in particular. But it was more of an atmosphere, a certain freedom, a way of approaching filmmaking. It wasn’t about specific scenes or specific films.
