Mathieu Kassovitz

Film

"I have a hard enough time speaking for myself - I don't pretend I can be a spokesman for anybody. I have no interest in playing that role."

"It's good that they've seen it, but how can I be satisfied after working for two years making a film which I hope will make a difference, when the government sees the film and does nothing about it?"
