art images
The way I put together images is a reactive art.
art images implies instead movies
Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that's art.

director music

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.

'Russian Ark,' I adore - I almost cried at the end of that film, it's so beautiful.
craziest directing foreign possibly understand

experience extension few numerous virtues vital
My cinema is an extension of myself. A sort of life-testimony of my vital experience, with my few virtues and my numerous limitations.
conscious embrace life
You can better embrace life, you can enjoy it more, when you are conscious that it will end. You bite life.
affected baton boats crossed rouge travels
When I think about growing up, I feel most affected by two travels that I made working in cargo boats when I was 16 and 18. One of them crossed through the Mississippi and Baton Rouge and Mobile, Alabama, and another went all the way to Europe.
