I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.

Basically, I'm afraid of everything in life, except filmmaking.

My films generally center around thousands of pictures being flashed in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion.

We start with a rehearsal where the actors kind of bring what they think should be in the scene. But we film everything, and we use cuts of this first take, also.

I am the best film director in the world.

The cognitive therapy that takes place in the film Antichrist is a form of therapy that I have used for some time, and it has to do with confronting your fears. I would say that especially the part of the film that has to do with therapy is humoristic because people who know about this form of therapy would know that the character is more than a fool.

I hope my films will never completely be without the ability to mark anybody.
