Barbet Schroeder - biography

“Every ten years there is a new generation of actors.”

“When you kill somebody in the movies, it matters, whereas in literature it can be allegorical.”

“Colombian humor is very black, very sarcastic.”

“Hallucinatory - that’s just the way everyday life is, in Colombia.  All the time, you say to yourself, did I just see that?”

“Every time, I try to make something different.”

“I chose to treat the homosexuality like I would treat any other form of sexuality.”

“I try not to have favorites, but Barfly is one that I like.  My favorite is always the one I just finished.”

“I’ve been following what’s happening in Colombia because it’s the country of my childhood.”
