"This is a universal, unique movie, it has potential to cross barriers. But we never thought about that on set, when we were doing the film. We knew that in making a silent movie, we were doing something a little bit under the wire, a bit interdit. It's a pastiche, but for the French taste, you would have thought"

In this quote, Jean Dujardin is discussing his experience dealing with a quiet movie. He describes the film as "universal" and "unique," suggesting that it has the prospective to attract a wide audience and break through cultural barriers. However, he also mentions that this was not something they actively thought of while filming. Instead, their focus was on creating a silent movie, which he describes as being "under the wire" and "interdit," or forbidden. He acknowledges that the movie is a pastiche, or replica, but thinks it would be popular by French audiences. In general, Dujardin highlights the unconventional nature of the movie and its prospective to go beyond limits.
