Films are always pretentious. There's nothing more pretentious than a filmmaker.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people.
The worst thing for a filmmaker is for a film to be labeled as pretentious or heavy-handed.
I find a lot of young filmmakers make too much of an effort to be trendy and they can be pretentious.
What I don't like are pompous, pretentious movies.
Film is pop art. It's not whether it's auteur cinema or not; that's a false distinction. Cinema is cinema.
I don't think that you can be prescriptive about anything, I mean, life is too complicated. Maybe there are novels where the author has not in the least thought about it in terms of film, which can be turned into good films.
I never want to be pretentious.
Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you've done more dramatic projects or you're classically trained.
Movies are art and the spirit of the movie depends on the creators.
You can't be pretentious about what we do, because at the end of the day, movies are about entertainment, and if people get 10 dollars' worth, then that's okay.
