Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater. I don't really know what is shocking. When you tell the story of a man who is beheaded, you have to show how they cut off his head. If you don't, it's like telling a dirty joke and leaving out the punch line. I never made a film which fully satisfied me. I see Macbeth as a young, open-faced warrior, who is gradually sucked into a whirpool of events because of his ambition. When he meets the weird sisters and hears their prophecy, he's like the man who hopes to win a million-a gambler for high stakes. If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children. In Paris, one is always reminded of being a foreigner. If you park your car wrong, it is not the fact that it's on the sidewalk that matters, but the fact that you speak with an accent. My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way. People like Truffaut, Lelouch and Godard are like little kids playing at being revolutionaries. I've passed through this stage. I lived in a country where these things happened seriously. Whenever I get happy, I always have a terrible feeling. |
