Luc Besson On Sound and Music For Film

In the June 2007 issue of Post Magazine, Director Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, The Fifth Element) talks about music and audio for his films:

They're huge and so important to me... I really enjoy pulling all that together because it can change what you see on the screen so much.  I was probably the first one in France, 30 years ago, to care for sound and music so much.  When I began, French directors didn't care much about it.

On music:

I saw very early on how it's this amazing tool that allows you to say so many things when it's placed with an image.  So you have the story, the dialogue, the actor's performances, the frame -- and you still have so much room for the music and the sound effects...
