And I Don't Believe That Children Are

To Decide To Film A Movie Again Shot By Shot, You Must Be Masochistic To A Certain Degree Because It Is A Much Greater Challenge.

In General, In All My Films, I Choose To Create A Certain Mistrust, Rather Than Claiming That What I'm Showing Onscreen Is An Accurate Reproduction Of Reality. I Want People To Question What They Are Seeing Onscreen. In The Same Way As I Used The Narrator, I Also Used Black And White, Because It Creates A Distance Toward What's Being Seen. I See The Film As An Artifact Rather Than A Reliable Reconstruction Of A Reality That We Cannot Know.

I'm Far More Relaxed With German. I'm A Control Freak. I Like To Know Exactly Who's Saying And Doing What.

As A Private Person, Professionally I Am Invisible.

I’ve Been Accused Of ‘raping’ The Audience In My Films, And I Admit To That Freely — All Movies Assault The Viewer In One Way Or Another.
