On The Set I Make

Films That Are Entertainments Give Simple Answers But I Think That's Ultimately More Cynical, As It Denies The Viewer Room To Think. If There Are More Answers At The End, Then Surely It Is A Richer Experience.

I Give The Spectator The Possibility Of Participating. The Audience Completes The Film By Thinking About It; Those Who Watch Must Not Be Just Consumers Ingesting Spoon-fed Images.

I Learned My Business In The Theater And In Television, Particularly Working With The Actors. You Can Learn Much More In The Theater Than Directing A Movie, Because Then You Have No Time When You Are Shooting A Movie To Really Work With The Actors. You Have To Learn This Craft Somewhere Else.

I Make My Films Because I'm Affected By A Situation, By Something That Makes Me Want To Reflect On It, That Lends Itself To An Artistic Reflection. I Always Aim To Look Directly At What I'm Dealing With. I Think It's A Task Of Dramatic Art To Confront Us With Things That In The Entertainment Industry Are Usually Swept Under The Rug.

If You Do An Original Film And You Want To Cut A Scene Out You Do It. But When You Do A Shot By Shot Remake You Don't Have That Option And Every Scene Has To Work Again.
