I Learned With 'the Beach'

I Like Action Movies, Even Though I Think Action Movies Are Kind Of Derided Now. But There Is Something Extraordinary About Action Movies, Which Is Absolutely Linked To The Invention Of Cinema And What Cinema Is And Why We Love It.

But Interestingly Star City's Technology Is All 1970s - Still. In Fact, It's Alarming Because You Think, "you're Not Going To Send Someone Up Into Space In Something That Old, Are You?" But It Works And It Always Has Worked And It Doesn't Fail And It's Incredibly Reliable.

I Made This Film 'the Beach,' Which Didn't Take Place In A City, And It Didn't Really Suit Me.

If You Have To Be Persuaded About Something, You Shouldn't Do It.

I Don't Want People To Sit There And Objectively Watch The Film. I Want Them To Experience It As Something That's Under Their Skin, So You Try To Make The Films Really Tactile.
