The Day We Run Out Of Petrol

Whether You Consider Me A Master Filmmaker Or Not, I Do It With My Intuition And My Vision, My Experience As A Storyteller.

I Think I'm No Different To My Friends Who Are Doctors Or Businessmen Or Architects - We All Started Watching Films Of The Golden Age Together. But Whether I'm Making Films Or Writing Poetry Or Doing Photography, It's Very Much Rooted In My Sense Of Unease. And That's Really Where Everything Goes Back To.

I Did Not Have A Script [of Close Up]. I Made Notes In The Evenings And We Filmed During The Day Over 40 Days.i Didn't Sleep A Wink For Those 40 Nights. I Have A Picture From The End Of The Shoot, And In It I Have Lost All My Hair.

This Kind Of Directing, I Think, Is Very Similar To Being A Football Coach. You Prepare Your Players And Place Them In The Right Places, But Once The Game Is On, There's Nothing Much You Can Do - You Can Smoke A Cigarette Or Get Nervous, But You Can't Do Much.

In The Total Darkness, Poetry Is Still There, And It Is There For You.
