A Strict Form Such As Mine Cannot

I'm Not Someone Who Enjoys Long Talks, Long Rehearsals. I'm Very Technical: I Tell My Actors, You Come In, You Sit Down, You Pick Up A Coffee, You Look Here, You Say The Line. We Try It With The Cameras Rolling, And If It Doesn't Work, We Adjust It Until It Does. It's Very Simple.

For Me, It's Always Difficult When A Historical Film Claims To Depict Or Represent A Reality That None Of Us Can Know, That Is Always Different. It's Always The Case. We Never Know What Happened Then.

Even The Most Elitist Director Or Author Who Claims That He Doesn't Care If His Works Are Seen Or Not, Then I Have To Think That He's Either A Liar Or A Hypocrite.

Personally, I Can't Stand Violence. In Any Standard American Mainstream Movie, There's 20 Times More Violence Than In Any One Of My Films, So I Don't Know Why Those Directors Aren't Asked Why They're Such Specialists For Violence.

Film Is Simply The Most Complex Way You Can Express Yourself
