The Opera Was A Very Cold Film,

Then I Realized My Early Work Did Have Something Special That Audiences Adored Apart From What I Humbly Thought About Them. They Occupy A Distinguished Niche In Italian Film History And Probably Always Will.

But You Know, As You Say, The Original Versions Of My Films Are Getting Out There, Slowly.

I Think The Camera Was Always My Obsession, The Camera Movements. Because For Me It's The Most Important Thing In The Move, The Camera, Because Without The Camera, Film Is Just A Stage Or Television - Nothing.

I Also Don't Like Films That Are Made Just To Make Money, No This Kind Of Film I Don't Like.

I've Been Lucky Enough To Have Had The Luxury Of Being Able To Make The Picture I've Wanted To Make Each Time On My Own Terms And Without Compromise.
