I Think Watching A Movie That Simply

I'm Interested In Seeing Films That Confront Me With New Things, With Films That Make Me Question Myself, With Films That Help Me To Reflect On Subjects That I Hadn't Thought About Before, Films That Help Me Progress And Advance.

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.

Film Is Simply The Most Complex Way You Can Express Yourself

I'm Far More Relaxed With German. I'm A Control Freak. I Like To Know Exactly Who's Saying And Doing What.

In My Film "benny's Video," I Depicted Violence But I Failed To Say All That I Had To Say, So I Wanted To Continue The Dialog And That's Why I Did "funny Games." The Irony Is That After I Shot "funny Games," But It Hadn't Been Released At All Anywhere.
