home shops
You can work, shop, do everything from home, and I find this unsettling.
people energy
Working with the same people is so much quicker and frees up your energy for other things.
home people leaving
I see people growing more and more isolated in their lives. It's not like it's a new thing, but it's more preoccupying now as you can do so many things without leaving your home. You can work, shop, do everything from home, and I find this unsettling.
trying violin tunes
Working with a bunch of actors is like trying to tune each violin.
cinema should reviewers
What I expect of a movie reviewer is that he should love cinema as much as I do.
boring audience terrified
My movies are, more or less, very short. I'm terrified of boring an audience.
able taste comedy
As a spectator, I have very eclectic taste, whether it's comedies or action or very small, intimate films. And I feel as a filmmaker I should be able to have that same eclectic taste.
rooms film wells
I like films that are well-written and concise and with not a lot of room for improvisation.
clever giving directors
If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director.
littles film crew
But I won't work with the exact same crew film after film because I feel the work would get a little complacent.
mean passion different
What stirs my passion is making cinema, and that means doing different things, making different types of films.
preparation rehearsal
I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.
simple stories love-story
Love stories that are too simple don't deserve to have films made about them.
anniversary people generations
Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!
