I like to give dimension to shots inside action scenes. It's demanding because you have to rehearse a lot of things happening at the same time and frame all those things in a shot. But I feel like when you accomplish that then you've got a cool action scene.
Jose PadilhaHow can I make a movie about the violence of the police if the police aren't going to let me film it?
Jose PadilhaI don't actually like blocking actors. I prefer giving actors freedom. They don't have to step on a precise mark with me. Instead of giving marks to the actors I like to give marks to the camera.
Jose PadilhaAs a filmmaker, I make the films that I love, that are in my heart. That's what I care about.
