I think that there's a very lucid side in cinema: entering a theater and seeing the film.

I would not describe myself as a left-wing filmmaker. I don't think this is the first thing that would pop into my mind when talking about my work.

Europeans used to be proud to be the advanced form of democracy. Now they're definitely a little bit ashamed because we are seeing that finally, the bond that we had, it was money.

I think that I prefer to shoot characters even if they are not good people. I don't think that cinema is a place where you can do sentences like in a court.

My job is just to make the films and then I don't have any strategy.

In general I'm more attached to a cinema that tries not to replicate the real world and life.

I don't believe that people are robots. I think you should try to get personal, try to put yourself in the film in a deep way, and try to give that to the viewer, even if some of them will not connect with that kind of universe and surreality.
