Certain subjects may no longer be taboo in cinema. But there are ways to treat them that still create shock.

I feel myself becoming more mature and more fascinated and drawn to feminine values.

Whenever I visit a city, I like to see what classical music concerts are on offer.

I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.

I became a film director, but I wasn't successful with my first couple of films, so I had to turn to becoming a film critic to make a living.

As I grow older I spend more time with my wife, and gradually my interest in the woman's world is growing.

I don't really believe in the auteur theory.
