- [on working with Luis Buñuel in The Phantom of Liberty (1974)] The police commissioner called. "Your sister is on the phone." "But she's dead!" Cut. We go to the next scene, the family tomb. Don Luis says, "Camera!" Then he says "Cut!" "Go get me a phone." His assistant goes and gets a phone. On a stack of coffins, Buñuel pushes one of the coffins and puts the phone on the coffin beneath it. So, we can immediately imagine an arm coming out to call the brother. I said, "That, Don Luis, is a great idea." He answered: "Yes, Rochefort, and it's cheap."
