I consider my films first and foremost to be dramas about individuals
in personal struggles and I consider myself to be a dramatist before I
am a political filmmaker. I'm interested in alternative points of view.
I think ultimately the problems of the planet are universal and that
nationalism is a very destructive force. I also like anarchy in films.
My heroes were
Luis Buñuel and
Jean-Luc Godard.
Breathless (1960) was one of the first pictures I really remember
being marked by, because of the speed and energy. They say I'm unsubtle.
But we need above all, a theatre that wakes us up: nerves and heart.
