I Like Actors Who Just Become That Person And Then React, And Adam [driver] Is Completely Reactive In That Way. So Every Day Working With Him Was Really A Pleasure. And He's In Almost Every Scene In The Film, So The Poor Guy Had To Work The - Almost The Entire 30 Days Of Our Film Shoot. But, Yeah, He Was Really A Pleasure, And I Really Love What He - How He Embodied This Character.

The Limits Of Control Is Not Surrealism, But It Is An Experiment In Which Expectations Are Deliberately Removed: Expectations For Narrative Form, For Action In A Film, For Certain Emotional Content. We Wanted To Remove Those Things And See If We Could Still Make A Film That Was A Beautiful Film Experience, With Deliberately Removing Things Many People Would Expect.

If You Go Into A Bar In Most Places In America And Even Say The Word Poetry, You'll Probably Get Beaten Up. But Poetry Is A Really Strong, Beautiful Form To Me, And A Lot Of Innovation In Language Comes From Poetry.
