A Truly Good Movie Is Enjoyable Too.

The Role Of The Artist Is To Not Look Away.

There Is Nothing That Says More About Its Creator Than The Work Itself.

To Be An Artist Means Never To Avert One's Eyes.

During The Shooting Of A Scene The Director’s Eye Has To Catch Even The Minutest Detail. But This Does Not Mean Glaring Concentratedly At The Set. While The Cameras Are Rolling, I Rarely Look Directly At The Actors, But Focus My Gaze Somewhere Else. By Doing This I Sense Instantly When Something Isn’t Right. Watching Something Does Not Mean Fixing Your Gaze On It, But Being Aware Of It In A Natural Way. I Believe This Is What The Medieval Noh Playwright And Theorist Zeami Meant By ‘watching With A Detached Gaze.’

The Great Appeal Of Film Is Its Relatability.
