I like the idea of challenging Hollywood on its own turf. It's important to do that.

Sound creates an intimate effect: the sensation to feel the place. It makes the viewer enter. You have the liberty to hear what you want.

The battle between two men over a girl is the same as the fight for two men over a piece of land. It is all about desire. There is no difference between a love triangle and the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

You can't go further than being naked.

The more elaborate your narrative, the more the spectator shuts up and listens obediently. And if the filmmaker keeps quiet, the spectator will himself project his own assumptions and sentiments onto the screen.

Sex becomes violent when you eliminate all the sentiments... voila, it gets crude.

Good and evil are polar concepts - one can't exist without the other.
