Movies are becoming more global, which is making them less intimate. If you make a movie for the world, you don't make it for any country.
Audiences in mainland China know how to discuss movies.
Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.
When you want to make a film abroad, you need producers and people who support you. You need a team that speaks your language.
Even some of us who make movies underestimate their influence abroad. American movies sell American culture. Foreigners want to see American movies. But that's also why so many foreign governments and groups object to them.
I'm a huge fan of world cinema, because each country uses cinema in a very individual way.
When you make a movie, you really have to be clever and smart, find something new for the worldwide audience because you aren't making a movie for just France or Germany; it's for everyone in the world.
