I’ve Been Accused Of ‘raping’ The Audience

You Become A Film Critic Because You're Interested In Film. I Don't Know Whether Knowing So Much About Cinema Leads You To Make Better Films, But It Certainly Can't Hurt.

Film Is 24 Lies Per Second At The Service Of Truth, Or At The Service Of The Attempt To Find The Truth.

I Give The Spectator The Possibility Of Participating. The Audience Completes The Film By Thinking About It; Those Who Watch Must Not Be Just Consumers Ingesting Spoon-fed Images.

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.

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.
