Quote
1
For Raoul Ruiz, the music is equally important. When you go to see his films, you also go to listen to the music and you could say that, in many of his films, it is the image that complements the music - and not the other way around.
2
I invented the famous "Sonate de Vinteuil" for Time Regained, with the following principle of tension: it begins in the style of Saint-Saëns and it ends with a Wagnerian thème choral.

Aesthetically speaking, if you create a powerful sequence with an interesting sound design, and if that's enough for you to express what you want, than you won't need music at all. But if the music was considered already in the beginning of the creative process, the director will shoot the scenes while leaving space for the music to speak a language in its own terms.

I consider music to be a primary element in the structure of a film and not just a mere incidental accessory. To me, it's evident that music must be considered in a project already when the idea for a script is born.

Artists are the true heroes of every nation.
