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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
cried
'Russian Ark,' I adore - I almost cried at the end of that film, it's so beautiful.
editing lives open talk time
From the time we open our eyes, we live in a Steadicam form, and the only editing is when we talk about our lives or remember things.
complex found mexico
Really, Mexico City has always been this big, complex monster of a city that has always had real problems and needs, and I've always found my way through it in different ways.
funds hold money signifies
The corporation and the hedge funds have a hold on Hollywood, and they all want to make money on anything that signifies cinema.
terrified
Everyone's terrified of being mediocre. Everyone wants to be special.
financed matters past
Yes, I am a Mexican, and I have a past and a culture. But what matters is the film itself, not where it was financed or cast.
