Sure, you always put some of your own experience into a film.

I'm not saying that it's wrong to make huge Hollywood films but it's just a different kind of feeling, a different sort of pleasure.

A film should be an experience. You should feel something. It should motivate you to feel something.

You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.

Personally, I like films that make me a little bit uncomfortable because I think you're uncomfortable when something is real.

I just think that the collective experience of going to see a film is something you can't recreate.

I don't approach films purely in context of genre.

That's the power of film. If it's good, it can somehow make you feel connected to even the farthest thing from your own experience.

In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.

Film is so immersive.
