・Hope people found out some messages from my film, meaning not just a piece of entertainment. I would like to say I’m making movies for grown-ups.
・I don’t think about the camera; first, carefully discuss things with the actors. I try observing the actors’ rehearsals closely and try to capture that with the camera. – from p.141 of “Directing the Film”
・The sense of intimacy is not directly related to the angle, but rather to where the camera is placed. – from p.141 of “Directing the Film”
・I don’t make movies for children. I always create films for adult.
・(When asked what I brought back from America) – Technology. European technology is impressive in its own way, but it doesn’t match America’s. On the other hand, I brought European vulnerability into film. The bandage on the nose of Jack Nicholson in Chinatown symbolizes that. American heroes never get hurt, and they certainly don’t show a nose wound.
