What I Like Are Films

Mainstream Cinema Raises Questions Only To Immediately Provide An Answer To Them, So They Can Send The Spectator Home Reassured. If We Actually Had Those Answers, Then Society Would Appear Very Different From What It Is.

When Ideas Lead To Ideology, That's A Very Dangerous Thing. Ideology Then Leads To Creating The Image Of An Enemy, And It Leads To The Murder And Massacre.

It's A Disease Of Critics That Once They've Labeled Someone, It's Very Hard To Change Their Perspective. It's Laziness.

In General, In All My Films, I Choose To Create A Certain Mistrust, Rather Than Claiming That What I'm Showing Onscreen Is An Accurate Reproduction Of Reality. I Want People To Question What They Are Seeing Onscreen. In The Same Way As I Used The Narrator, I Also Used Black And White, Because It Creates A Distance Toward What's Being Seen. I See The Film As An Artifact Rather Than A Reliable Reconstruction Of A Reality That We Cannot Know.

If A Director Says He Doesn't Care How Many People See His Films At All, I Simply Don't Believe Him. Otherwise Why Would He Bother To Make The Film? The Only Explanation Would Be That It Would Be An Act Of Masturbation. I Think That Every Creator Is Looking For A Receptor. He's Looking For An Audience. There Are Two Parts Of The Equation: A Creator And, Necessarily, The Receiver Of The Work. It's The Same Thing For A Painter Who Wants His Paintings To Be Seen.
