There is a sense of emptiness when you finish any film because you're empty and you can't give anything more to it anymore.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's an old saying that you don't ever finish a movie, you abandon it, and I really believe that. I never walk away from a take and pat myself on the back.
There is no sense in making a film that no-one will go and see, just to create a perfect, but useless, work of art.
Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.
Some people feel fulfillment from a bitter end - it gives them some sort of sense of reality. But, when you're dealing with reality, I feel like films should discover the part that is happy.
When you see a finished film, it's very rare that it exceeds your expectations.
There's such an immediate intimacy with film that you just don't get in theater.
Sometimes when you make a film you can go away for three months and then come back and live your life. But this struck a much deeper chord. I don't have the ability yet to speak about it in an objective.
I view every film as a commitment to undertake a long journey. I suppose this has to do with my need to leave no stone unturned, and sometimes to even dig deeper into the mine.
Movies are not finished. They are abandoned. A movie is never finished.
The theatre fulfills, whereas the cinema is empty.
