I really love sort of classical cinema where people were telling stories with very little dialogue, and people were using the camera in a really interesting way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love moments in film where there's no dialogue, and somebody communicates something with a look that kills you. That's why I love going to the cinema.
I like stories that have a social impact and social attributes to them. That's the whole reason we make films: to broaden our limited view of things and to see how life is evolving elsewhere.
For me, the perfect film has no dialogue at all. It's purely a visual, emotional, visceral kind of experience. And I think one can create wonderful depth and meaning and communication without using words. I started out as an illustrator and a cartoonist and caricature artist, so for me the visual is primary.
I think from an early age I was aware of how a camera can tell a story, how a movie camera can affect how the narrative is told.
One of the things I don't like about film is its incredible immersive quality. It's kind of bullying - it's very big, it's very flashy, it's got a lot of weight and it throws it around almost to the detriment of the rest of our culture.
The films that I love are very straightforward stories, like really old-fashioned stuff.
As I started to develop as a director, I wanted to do projects that were inherently more cinematic, where the freight was not so much in the dialogue, where it would be carried more by the camera.
I love film and have taken a stab at a screenplay. I love writing dialogue and found it highly enjoyable.
I love telling stories with images. But I think there's more to just saying a movie is great visually.
I think a lot of the most interesting work in art and in films are often kind of polarized opinions and affect people in very different ways, which may be less successful commercially, but they elicit a dialogue that's quite interesting.
