There is something more to "reality" than just the tangible. There is also mood, and you cannot skip that.

I don't know the American photographers as well, but I admit I love Ansel Adams. His landscapes are so crisp.

A good [film] director is talented, imaginative, and does his homework.

I always try to tell the story the best possible way. I create the mood for each scene in a way that the audience feels that they are right there with me and they feel actually in the mood that was right for the scene.

As the cinematographer is usually more visual than the director is and full cooperation is really the answer and to make a great film, you need a good director and you need a good cinematographer.

I think that film is still an artform and it doesn't really matter if you're using a digital camera or a film camera.

I think film is about images. Cinema needs good images. I think that if you don’t have good images, it’s not going to be a good film. I think all films should be really visual.
