I've always believed that true cinema is cinema of the imagination.

I've shot films in Africa. I've shot in America - English is not my language.

I've seen films that have made as much as $100, $200 million, but they're not films. They're images. They're flashes. They're many beautiful images, lots of things to look at. They capture you. But it's not a film. It's not something that involves you in a story. They go to cinema now to be blown away by the effects.
