There Is Nothing That Says More About

During The Shooting Of A Scene The Director’s Eye Has To Catch Even The Minutest Detail. But This Does Not Mean Glaring Concentratedly At The Set. While The Cameras Are Rolling, I Rarely Look Directly At The Actors, But Focus My Gaze Somewhere Else. By Doing This I Sense Instantly When Something Isn’t Right. Watching Something Does Not Mean Fixing Your Gaze On It, But Being Aware Of It In A Natural Way. I Believe This Is What The Medieval Noh Playwright And Theorist Zeami Meant By ‘watching With A Detached Gaze.’

When I Start On A Film I Always Have A Number Of Ideas About My Project. Then One Of Them Begins To Germinate, To Sprout, And It Is This, Which I Take And Work With. My Films Come From My Need To Say A Particular Thing At A Particular Time. The Beginning Of Any Film For Me Is This Need To Express Something. It Is To Make It Nurture And Grow That I Write My Script- It Is Directing It That Makes My Tree Blossom And Bear Fruit.

There Is Something That Might Be Called Cinematic Beauty. It Can Only Be Expressed In A Film, And It Must Be Present For That Film To Be A Moving Work. When It Is Very Well Expressed, One Experiences A Particularly Deep Emotion While Watching That Film. I Believe That It Is This Quality That Draws People To Come And See A Film, And That It Is The Hope Of Attaining This Quality That Inspires The Filmmaker To Make His Film In The First Place.

I Am Not A Special Person, I Am Not Especially Strong; I Am Not Especially Gifted. I Simply Do Not Like To Show My Weakness, And I Hate To Lose, So I Am A Person Who Tries Hard. That's All There Is To Me.

Something That You Should Take Particular Notice Of Is The Fact That The Best Scripts Have Very Few Explanatory Passages. Adding Explanation To The Descriptive Passages Of A Screenplay Is The Most Dangerous Trap You Can Fall Into. It’s Easy To Explain The Psychological State Of A Character At A Particular Moment, But It’s Very Difficult To Describe It Through The Delicate Nuances Of Action And Dialogue. Yet It Is Not Impossible.
