I Have A Few Other Films In

I Had To Trick People Into Giving Me Money For My First Film. Making A Romantic Comedy Is Easier And More Expected From A Woman Than It Is To Make A Drama About A Japanese Warrior.

Maybe I Would Get The Chance To Be Financed For A Small Romantic Comedy, But A War Movie By A 28-year-old Woman About Japanese Soldiers? No One Was Going To Go For That. It's Easy To Just Steal An Idea Because It's Very Safe.

I Don't Want To Go To The Bahamas On Holiday. I Hate Islands. I Want To Go To Brittany, Where It's Cold And Raining, And There's Nothing Fancy About It.

I Definitely Didn't Fit In Perfectly To The School System. I Was Raised With Such Freedom Of Speech And Thinking.

I Was Six Years Old When I Saw My First Godard Movie, Eight When I First Experienced Bergman. I Wanted To Be A Director When I Was Fourteen.
