What I do not like, the kind of high-resolution cameras, 4K, 6K, for shooting dialogue, for having faces and close-ups of actors, and you see every single pore in the skin.

One of the most original and poetic works of cinema made anywhere in the seventies.

If I had to climb into hell and wrestle the devil himself for one of my films, I would do it.

I think the worst that can happen in filmmaking is if you're working with a storyboard. That kills all intuition, all fantasy, all creativity.

Of course, as a German, I wouldn't like to tell the American people how to handle their criminal justice.

For such an advanced civilization as ours to be without images that are adequate to it is as serious a defect as being without memory.

Once in a while I come across a director who hasgrown up thousands of miles from me, and the work touches me.Through these issues/50/images I am connected and something is illuminated.And I know then that I am not alone.
