A movie, it's like a very complicated timepiece. There's a lot of wheels in a watch. And some of those wheels, if they don't turn right, then, you know, the watch ain't gonna tell the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes a time dictates what a film will be. Sometimes a film dictates what the time will be.
A metaphysical tour de force of untethered meaning and involuting interlocking contrapuntal rhythms, 'The Clock' is more than a movie or even a work of art. It is so strange and other-ish that it becomes a stream-of-consciousness algorithm unto itself - something almost inhuman.
Sometimes movie-making happens like clockwork; other times, like a car accident.
When you make a movie, you don't know how it'll turn out. You can only guess.
Whatever the right hand findeth to do, the left hand carries a watch on its wrist to show how long it takes to do it.
Sometimes a movie knows you're watching it. It knows how to hold and keep you, how, when it's over, to make you want it all over again.
Movies are movies: they take you back in time, and how it still is for some.
Before I film a movie, I look at how the character will move and walk.
I'm the kind of guy who, I need a watch that tells me what day it is. I need to know it's Friday on my watch. I need to look at it and go, 'Friday today.' Tomorrow I will not know it's Saturday until I look at my watch. My watchband broke, I was crippled. I have no concept of time, I have no concept of dates.
Time is irrelevant to me. I never wear a watch.
