italian dvds want
Of course, there's always one theater that shows some kind of European film. Now, fortunately, you have DVDs, so it's possible to get anything you want within a few hours. In those days, it was virtually impossible to get Italian films, or German films, or whatever. So I grew up with very standard, mainstream films.
thinking laughing people
As a sensitive filmmaker, I think you have to really be careful in how you explore it. Not that you can't tell any story you want - I'm not calling for censorship or anything. But if you're going to have violence, I think it's important to deal with the consequences of that on a human level, not just to make people laugh.
careers normal cinema
I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.
beautiful thinking littles
I think every beautiful tale in the world hides the truth and reveals it little by little.
I really didn't want to become branded as 'that multistructural guy.'
lives realized
I realized - and I am probably the last person in the world to realize this - that we live our lives with no editing.
experience good learned liberating terrifies
I learned with 'Birdman' that it's liberating when you just lose yourself and go after something that terrifies you. The experience was so good.
people work worked
I know how to work with people. I've worked with the same people for 10 years. I'm not that kind of auteur. I hear ideas.
met obsessed
I have never met a superhero, but why are we so obsessed with superheroes?
I have learned that I am a one-woman man.
cut final
I have been very lucky to have final cut in all my films; everything that is wrong in them is my fault.
I have ADD. I can't pay attention to one thing too long.
cool pop tone
I don't like the ironic tone that our pop culture, in the world, has taken. Everything is 'ironic.' Everything is 'cool.'
audiences films foreign market
When you do a film in a foreign language, you know there's a cost in it, that you know, unfortunately, the audiences of foreign language films have not been cultivated. There's a market, but the market has been reduced, unfortunately, and you know that when you're making a foreign language film, you're making a choice.
