Photography is truth. And cinema is truth twenty-four times a second.

Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.

The cinema is not a craft. It is an art. It does not mean teamwork. One is always alone on the set as before the blank page. And to be alone... means to ask questions. And to make films means to answer them.

I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.

I had the feeling that Sarajevo was the perfect place to shoot the film I wanted to shoot. It is the perfect illustration of purgatory.
