I think cinema has this beautiful component. It's a universal language.
From Paolo Sorrentino
The way I work with my cinematographer is not based on general principles, but the ideas are triggered by the locations where we shoot.
I don't use Twitter. I'm a serious person.
There's one thing that I like about Rome that was stated by Napoleon: that from sublime to pathetic is only one step away. And in Rome there's a constant shifting between sublime and pathetic.
What I find compelling is the moment in which people realize, with suffering and pain, that in the past there was a time when they were happy, because back then the present and the future coincided - they were one and the same thing.
Wasting time is something that people do or feel all over the world, not just in Italy.
What I'm interested in is human beings alone.
I have learned that I will not pay any attention to anything people say about my movies, because people say things that are all over the place.
Going around Rome, you can find beauty because, quite simply, Rome is very beautiful. But the beauty of the people is sometimes harder to discover.
I usually don't say anything to the actors. It works better for me because when they come to the set, they are at the same time scared and excited because they are not well aware of what will happen.
