It Is Boring To Have All The

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 Like To Write For Actors I Know And With Whom I've Worked Before. You Can Write To Their Strengths And Weaknesses And Write Roles That Are Better Suited To Them.

For Me, It's Always Difficult When A Historical Film Claims To Depict Or Represent A Reality That None Of Us Can Know, That Is Always Different. It's Always The Case. We Never Know What Happened Then. So My Approach With The Narrator Is To Question That, To Leave That Open, To Underline The Fact That This Is Uncertain.

People Expect Me To Be Dark And Gloomy, Then Write That I'm A Jolly Chap, And After All, That Is What I Am. I Think It's A Case Of An Absolute Romantic Naivety That There Should Be A Parallel Between The Work And The Artist.

Unfortunately, You're Helpless When People Interpret Your Work Wrongly. There Are Simply People Who Can't Or Won't Understand Or Accept What You're Trying To Do. When You Take The Risk Of Expressing Yourself In Public, You Have To Open Yourself To That Possibility.
