A Strict Form Such As Mine Cannot

If A Director Says He Doesn't Care How Many People See His Films At All, I Simply Don't Believe Him. Otherwise Why Would He Bother To Make The Film? The Only Explanation Would Be That It Would Be An Act Of Masturbation. I Think That Every Creator Is Looking For A Receptor. He's Looking For An Audience. There Are Two Parts Of The Equation: A Creator And, Necessarily, The Receiver Of The Work. It's The Same Thing For A Painter Who Wants His Paintings To Be Seen.

You Become A Film Critic Because You're Interested In Film. I Don't Know Whether Knowing So Much About Cinema Leads You To Make Better Films, But It Certainly Can't Hurt.

If Someone's Lying To Us, Then It's Rare That We Know That They're Lying To Us. It's Only In Bad Films That You Recognize Immediately That An Actor's Playing In Such A Way That You Can See That He's Lying, And That's Simply Dumb. But To Reach That, It Requires That You Make A Film In Such A Way That A Spectator Feels Compelled To Find His Own Explanation. You Want To Lead The Spectator To Find His Own Interpretation. To Ask Questions Rather Than Provide All Of The Answers. Doing That Leads To Open Endings And Open Dramaturgy.

It Is Boring To Have All The Answers. Only Political People Have Answers.

Like Every Filmmaker, I Make My Films To Reach The Widest Audience Possible.
