'Ikiru' is existential but with a lot of tenderness.
human
I'm very curious, I guess, as a human being.
pronounce time
In hotels, every time I make a reservation and they never find my name, they never can pronounce it; it's so long, and sometimes they confuse.
bubble built high incredible work
That incredible bubble and high expectations built at festivals can work against a film.
It's very healthy to be aware of your ego.
age influenced points
At a very young age, I was influenced enormously by Julio Cortazar or Carlos Fuentes. In that literature, there's always an exploration of different perspectives, points of view.
architecture
The visual architecture of 'Biutiful' is the most sophisticated of all the films I have directed.
hard work
It's hard for me to work for somebody else. I can work with someone, but not for someone.
felt liberating playing
It was liberating to do comedy. It felt like playing in a jazz band.
While 'Babel' is a foreign-language film in some countries, in others, it is a local film.
