I always have considered Michael Keaton to be a phenomenal actor because he navigates drama and comedy.
answer create debate directors generate good work
Good directors don't answer questions with their work. They generate debate and create discussion.
ask demands honest serve talent truth
For the actors, the talent is to serve the demands that I ask of them, to do it with naturality and truth, and to be honest when we were terrified.
time
Filmmaking can give you everything, but at the same time, it can take everything from you.
terrified
Everyone's terrified of being mediocre. Everyone wants to be special.
entirely execute
Do you know the phrase, 'The word 'water' will not wet you?' It's one thing to write down an idea and another thing entirely to execute it.
Cinema is an infinite medium, so we should take advantage of it, I think.
basically cannes creating festival films major nature specific
Cannes or any other major festival is basically an animal in its own nature, creating very specific perceptions of films in a moment.
death life
'Biutiful' is not about death. It's about life. It's a hymn to life.
honest truthful word
As the camera, I try to subordinate every word to be truthful and honest to each character's context.
'Amores Perros' is rock, '21 Grams' is jazz, 'Babel' is an opera, and 'Biutiful' is a requiem.
Always when you are doing films, the themes swallow you in one way or another.

The corporation and the hedge funds have a hold on Hollywood, and they all want to make money on anything that signifies cinema.
films
Films like 'Babel' can transcend the one point-of-view formula that has reigned for so long.
