I don't like the idea of simply illustrating a script. A script is pages and words, and the image is the basic unit of the film's language. So it's very important to work out the transition from word to image.

you know how it is about those things, as though you do a film on your own. It’s a lie. You do what you can with what you have, but then everybody has a secret influence. That doesn’t mean it’s a democracy, but it’s how it works.

I just finished a film a few days ago, and I came home and said I learned so much today. So if I can come home from working on a little film after doing it for 45 years and say, “I learned so much today,” that shows something about the cinema. Because the cinema is very young. It’s only 100 years old.
