If you mention any ideological thing about shooting Last Tango in Paris, I was thinking I was doing a political film.
I don't see my movies. I think it's healthier and safer to keep a bit of distance. I'm afraid to be disappointed.
I think that I used to love Hollywood movies. I remember great phases and moments. But, unfortunately, now is not the moment.
I am in love with the idea of doing a movie in 3D. I think 3D would be great in a kind of realistic normal story without throwing objects to the camera, but using the 3D on the emotions in an intimate story.
You know, in ten years you're gonna be playing soccer with your tits, what do you think of that?
Every film I have made has corresponded to a very special moment of my life. I like to think that if someone wanted to reconstruct the story of my life, they can just see my movies and know what I have been through.
Sometimes I think that I understand my movies after I make them. Really. I go very often off of instinct.
I don't think you can in any way export culture with guns or tanks.
This is something that I dream about: to live films, to arrive at the point at which one can live for films, can think cinematographically, eat cinematographically, sleep cinematographically, as a poet, a painter, lives, eats, sleeps painting.
