bad believe good
We always want to find good and bad guys, and I don't believe in that.
extremely family importance jewish movies urgency
I think that being Jewish has generated an extremely strong sense of the importance of family. If I look at my Scandinavian colleagues, they don't have that urgency about family. All my movies are about that.
john thriller
John le Carre's 'The Night Manager' is a relentlessly exhilarating thriller with profound emotional depths.
certain respect sort
I think possibly, as an artist, you're always treated with a certain respect but also with a certain sort of nervousness.
certain films quite tone
I think most of my films all have a certain tone or intensity in them. They are tense, and you kind of anticipate some kind of catastrophe, but you're not quite sure.
experience inside watch watching
When I watch a movie myself, I want to forget that I'm watching a movie, and I want to be inside the movie. That's the kind of experience I want my audience to have.

I quite like some of the movies that have many characters in them.

I have this almost obsessive desire to whomever is close to me: I want to have a very intense, close, intimate relationship with them.

I generally edit quite heavily. In general, there aren't many scenes that are sitting where they sat in the script in the final form.

I don't feel that I'm strictly Danish; I don't feel that my sense of humor is strictly Danish or my human sensibility is strictly Danish.
learned
I did learn a lot from 'Things We Lost in the Fire,' but I've learned different things from different films.

For me, grief is a static thing, and my movies have an extremely dynamic sort of movement.
certain freeing leading life
Dogme is like leading a religious life, in that you are freeing yourself from making certain choices. It makes life easier.
ill issues keen number society telling women
A significant number of women who have been ill or had marital issues feel they have no value, and society is so keen on telling us that's the case.
