Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
The thing that I really love about film is that it is with you forever - it goes to your children, and they get to see it again and again and have it forever.
My cinema is an extension of myself. A sort of life-testimony of my vital experience, with my few virtues and my numerous limitations.
Every film that I have done has a special place in my heart.
Every film I do, I'm involved with from the very conception of the project.
Film brings together framing and light and color and performance and music and all of that. To me, everything I've done in my life has been preparing me for filmmaking.
I think I still have that same drive and determination, the same curiosity and passion for filmmaking that I did when I first started. Every film brings with it unique challenges and experiences, and I approach every one with the same enthusiasm.
The physical journey in my films is indicative of the internal journey that my characters take.
I've done many different movies in many different contexts.
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
