craziest directing foreign possibly understand
Directing non-actors is difficult. Directing actors in a foreign language is even more difficult. Directing non-actors in a language that you yourself don't understand is the craziest thing you can possibly think of.
director music
I see only one requirement you have to have to be a director or any kind of artist: rhythm. Rhythm, for me, is everything. Without rhythm, there's no music. Without rhythm, there's no cinema. Without rhythm, there's no architecture.
minute
If the audience, in minute 50, is thinking about the way a movie is shot, there's a problem. I want it to permeate emotionally.
lived tolstoy
In 'A Confession,' Tolstoy found meaning that he could hold on to, and he lived for another 30 years.
cried
'Russian Ark,' I adore - I almost cried at the end of that film, it's so beautiful.
architecture
The visual architecture of 'Biutiful' is the most sophisticated of all the films I have directed.
intense life
I'm an intense person. My own vision of life has always been heavy.
countries express points spread third
As a Third World citizen, I always feel that I need to express my point of view. Sometimes the points of view of Third World countries are never expressed. We don't have that possibility, sometimes, to spread what we feel and how we see things.
human
I'm very curious, I guess, as a human being.
period piece truly
I've never done a period piece or a comedy, and that could be something truly different for me.
conscious embrace life
You can better embrace life, you can enjoy it more, when you are conscious that it will end. You bite life.
creative fear great unknown
Fear of the unknown is a great creative partner.
knowledge
Too much knowledge and analysis can be paralysis.
develop freedom
Freedom comes with a lot of responsibility. When you are by yourself, you have to develop a third eye.
