I hope this doesn't sound pretentious, but I very often like the way Europeans make movies. I think sometimes that don't they care about having to clean certain things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Indian films have this obsession with hygienic clean spaces, even though the country's not so clean. They're either shot in the studios or shot in London, in America, in Switzerland - clean places. Everywhere except India.
In Europe, there are many filmmakers working in the same territory: immigration, and the things that are most disruptive to European life today. That's not a judgment. I think it's good that cinema looks at such things.
Why do I continue making movies? Making movies is better than cleaning toilets.
I learned that you can make a sci-fi film that is satisfying overseas. European people have everything in check. I'd make every sci-fi film in Europe. They only work 14 hours a day. After that, it's overtime.
We live in a youth-obsessed, aesthetically obsessed culture. That is no more evident than in the film industry.
In America, they shoot budgets and schedules, and they don't shoot films any more. There's more opportunity in Europe to make films that at least have a purity of intent.
Don't get me wrong - I'm a big fan of things American - but when American people do British stuff, it's so universally dreadful.
Why spend money on movies when you can spend it on gas? Or dry cleaning? Or groceries?
I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people.
I think it's important that we have a new batch of British film-makers that aren't doing the same old stuff. And that includes me.
