In A Mad World Only The Mad

If You Look At Everything Straight On, There Is Nothing To Be Afraid Of.

For Me, Filmmaking Combines Everything. That's The Reason I've Made Cinema My Life's Work. In Films, Painting And Literature, Theatre And Music Come Together. But A Film Is Still A Film.

Of All My Films, People Wrote To Me Most About This One... ...i Had Wanted To Make The Idiot Long Before Rashomon. Since I Was Little I've Liked Russian Literature, But I Find That I Like Dostoevsky The Best And Had Long Thought That This Book Would Make A Wonderful Film. He Is Still My Favourite Author, And He Is The One - I Still Think - Who Writes Most Honestly About Human Existence.

The Truth Is In The Mystery.

It Is The Power Of Memory That Gives Rise To The Power Of Imagination.
