I feel like, whatever movie I was making, there would always be moments of human intimacy and insight into a little bit of what makes us tick as people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I go to movies and I love the movie, it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now, and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.
If we didn't want to upset anyone, we would make films about sewing, but even that could be dangerous. But I think finally, in a film, it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience.
I wanted to make people feel the same way I feel when I see a good movie.
There is always something I gain from watching a movie, whether it's a silly romantic comedy or an art film.
I always felt there was a kind of humanistic impulse in my thinking about film as well as a real interest in its formal and aesthetic properties - just this idea that it can bring you into a very intimate encounter with people.
As a viewer, I love watching movies. There has to be an emotional connection.
I focus on the elements of a movie that are meant to invisibly affect me as a viewer. The edges. As an author, I'm aware of how the subconscious things can pluck at a reader's emotions, and I love it when filmmakers do the same.
I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about.
I think it's always harder in a film to convey intimacy.
I don't think I'd ever start making a film until I had both the intimacy with the subject and the distance to make it live in a certain way.
