I Consider All My Films Experiments.

I'm Not Really A Happy Person. It's A Question Of Temperament. I Have A Tendency Toward Melancholy. You Can Feel Quite Happily Melancholic.

I Always Seek To Mobilize, To Call On The Imagination Of The Spectator. It's Well-known That The Images That Are Created By One's Imagination Are Far Stronger Than Any That I Can Show. In Fact, It's An Error, A Widespread Error In Mainstream Cinema, To Always Want To Show Things And To Depict Things.

My Father And I Had A Good Relationship, It Was Very Relaxed. He Had A Lot Of Humour. He Looked A Little Bit Like Me, Although He Had No Beard. He Had The Appearance Of A Very Elegant British-looking Man.

To Me, It's Far More Efficient To Mobilize The Imagination. It's Far More Efficient To Hear A Creaking Step, For Example, Than To See The Face Of A Monster, Which Usually Looks Ridiculous, And Where You Know That The Blood Is Ketchup.

I Want To Make It Clear: It's Not That I Hate Mainstream Cinema. It's Perfectly Fine. There Are A Lot Of People Who Need To Escape, Because They Are In Very Difficult Situations, So They Have The Right To Escape From The World. But This Has Nothing To Do With An Art Form.
