I Had Intended To Make Another Film, Called Pocket Money, Which Was To Be About Children At A School. I Was Very Much Intrigued By The Story [of Close Up] - It Came Into My Dreams And I Was Very Much Influenced By It. So I Called My Producer And Asked That We Put Aside Pocket Money And Start Something Else, And He Agreed.

I Believe There's Only Good Cinema And Bad Cinema.

It's Very True That Non-actors Feel More Comfortable In Front Of A Digital Camera, Without The Lights And The Large Crowd Around Them, And We Arrive At Much More Intimate Moments With Them.

The Kind Of Sleep That I Had During My Own Film [certified Copy] Screening In Cannes Is Different. It's Not Because Of The Specificity Of The Film. It Was Because Of My Relationship As An Author To This Film. Usually When I Take My Films To Festivals, I Feel Incredibly Anxious About Them. I Wonder How It Will Be Received, How The Audience Will React. I Feel Deeply Responsible For Them. Whereas This Time, I Didn't Have That Responsibility On My Shoulders.

We Are Nothing But A Link Between Our Culture And What We Can Actually Produce.
