I Make My Films Because I'm Affected

It's Unbearable When Someone Changes Around You. Just Imagine That Your Life Partner Changes, Then It Is Difficult To Cope With. Or Your Mother. Or Your Father. They Were Strong And Now They're Like A Baby - It's Not So Funny.

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.

Film Is 24 Lies Per Second At The Service Of Truth, Or At The Service Of The Attempt To Find The Truth.

Of Course There Are Many Films About The Period Of Fascism Itself But I Don't Know Of Any About That Period Beforehand. But It Wasn't That Specific Fact That They Weren't There That Got Me To Think About This In The First Place. It's Not What Led To The Basic Idea For The Film, Although It Became Apparent When I Began To Think About It.

I Never Use Soundtrack; It Is Always Part Of The Story.
