I Think Watching A Movie That Simply

I Never Suffered From The Absence Of A Father. On The Contrary, As A Child I Was More Inclined To See Men As A Disturbing Factor. It Made Things Difficult For Me When I Started Working As A Director.

Classicism Becomes Avant-garde When Everyone Else Is Doing Their Utmost To Develop New Stylistic Forms. I Think It's Healthy To Return To Classical Forms.

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.

The Trouble Is That When You Read Criticisms About The Other Films That I've Made You Get The Impression That They're All About Themes, Or Problems, Or Ideas. But Those Are Actually Things That Develop Out Of Characters, Out Of Images And Out Of Other Things. These More Abstract Things Develop While Working On The Material, And Out Of It. It's Not A Theoretical Exercise From The Outset.

It's More Enjoyable To Shoot In A Studio On A Single Location With Two Actors... If They Are Good.
