answer create debate directors generate good work
Good directors don't answer questions with their work. They generate debate and create discussion.
adding affected becoming bit work
I'm overwhelmed by the pain in the world; I'm affected by the news very much, and adding that to my work was becoming a little bit too much.
artistic arts class corporate films instead interest kids master pushed successful visual work
You have kids studying master class visual arts who are pushed to make films that will be successful economically; that's what they focus on. So they work for corporate interest instead of artistic expression.
above deal great tool work
Irony is a great tool to deal with things. It's an intellectualization, a way to go above things, which can work.
love structural structure works wrote
I love the three-act theory. It works and works beautifully. But you don't necessarily have to structure a story that way: Cortazar and Borges wrote in different structural styles.
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.
prize work worse
On a transcendental level, a film is not going to be better or worse because there's a prize behind it. The work will be what it is, with or without a prize.
bubble built high incredible work
That incredible bubble and high expectations built at festivals can work against a film.
hard work
It's hard for me to work for somebody else. I can work with someone, but not for someone.
critics filing leaves time
When you have critics filing on Twitter, it leaves no time for thought and perspective.
die funny people
When you live in a city, as I do, where violence is really in the streets, and people die every day, there's nothing funny about it.
needed vulgarity
'Biutiful' is a tough film. It doesn't make concessions to the vulgarity of light entertainment. It's not the kind of film that you see every day in the Cineplex. But as an artist, it's the thing that I needed to do.
beauty blinded complexity viewers
I do think that the emotional weight of 'Biutiful' has blinded some viewers to the beauty and complexity of the film.
I can be unbearable sometimes asking for so many takes.
