About
"I thought I'd already been involved in colossal productions such as Joseph Losey's "Don Giovanni" and Jean-Paul Rappenau's "Cyrano de Bergerac." But "Barbier de Sibérie" was stupendous—three years in production, thirty weeks of shooting, twelve months of editing. . . . But what an extraordinary exploit!"
(Michel Seydoux, Producer)
