:55:05
Anyway, it's just
a way to make a living
:55:08
without too much trouble
so I can do other things.
:55:12
Or at least I try.
:55:16
I used to make films.
:55:18
For various reasons, I stopped,
at least for a while.
:55:22
I had to pay the rent.
:55:25
I looked at all the possible things
I could do.
:55:31
It seems like the easy way out,
and maybe it is,
:55:35
but three years ago, it wasn't.
:55:43
Oh, all kinds of reasons.
:55:46
A lot of things influenced
my decision.
:55:50
What happened with Susan.
:55:53
All kinds of things.
:55:58
I told you I made films.
:56:00
I was a screenwriter
during the New Wave.
:56:06
That's so long ago.
:56:12
I really got sick of it.
:56:15
Well before May '68,
:56:18
I got tired of making art films.
:56:20
I was going nowhere.
:56:22
I was ready for May to hit me,
and that's what happened.
:56:28
Did I take part in May?
:56:31
Yes and no, like everyone.
:56:35
Most of my friends
got caught up in it,
:56:38
marching from the Odéon
to the Sorbonne.
:56:43
It was serious,
and at the same time it wasn't.
:56:48
You'd run into people at meetings
where you couldn't help thinking,
:56:54
"That joker's here?
:56:57
With the films he makes,
he's got some nerve!"
