FAQ for Jean-Luc Groudiard

[On Frisson and I Am The Elephant Man] ''My intention with Frisson was to direct a horror film which was suggestively led by the disgust and the bizarre side of humanity. I Am The Elephant Man involves similar themes but in that film I tried to give it a more dramatic effect and less disgusting.''

''I prefer to direct shorts instead of full length features. The reason why is simple: because it is done easily and given less time. It gives you the chance to make up your minds yourself while a film of a longer length could contain more anwsers then secrets.''

''I won't deny that my films contain spiritual themes, but I do not believe in heaven, hell or something after this life. We live, we die and the trains of the rails go around and again.''
