I'm asked unendingly to become involved in series involving true crime and as it so happens the Netflix series that I'm working on is about a true crime.

A lot of the themes of my movies, the actual stories, come from tabloid stories.

Like all great documentaries, The Act of Killing demands another way of looking at reality. It starts as a dreamscape, an attempt to allow the perpetrators to reenact what they did, and then something truly amazing happens. The dream dissolves into nightmare and then into bitter reality. An amazing and impressive film.

Forty years ago this country went down a rabbit hole in Vietnam and millions died. I fear we're going down a rabbit hole once again - and if people can stop and think and reflect on some of the ideas and issues in this movie, perhaps I've done some damn good here!

The claim that everybody sees the world differently is not a claim that there's no reality. It's a different kind of claim.

The fact that the world is utterly insane makes it tolerable.

Maybe existence is ultimately a lonely thing.
