I like it when I go into a cinema and I'm not aware that I'm there; I'm totally involved in the film for two hours.

But this is the ultimate contradiction of cinema. It's a medium BORN of technology, AFRAID of technology and evolving towards the future BECAUSE OF technology.

In my experience there are billions of dollars available for pieces of shit. As soon as the material distinguishes itself by something interesting, financing becomes a problem.

When less than everything has been said about a subject, you can still think on further. The alternative is for the audience to be presented with a final deduction (...) no effort on their part.
What can it mean to them when they have not shared with the author the misery and joy of bringing an image into being?

Directing, I realize, on film is far more personal, you know. Cinema really is a director's medium. This is a very personal film.

All my movies, like Revenge, are under two hours.
