If we are too busy, if we are carried away every day by our projects, our uncertainty, our craving, how can we have the time to stop and look deeply into the situation-our own situation, the situation of our beloved one, the situation of our family and of our community, and the situation of our nation and of the other nations?

Pictures are the idea in visual or pictorial form; and the idea has to be legible, both in the individual picture and in the collective context - which presupposes, of course, that words are used to convey information about the idea and the context. however, none of this means that pictures function as illustrations of an idea: ultimately, they are the idea. nor is the verbal formulation of the idea a translation of the visual: it simply bears a certain resemblance to the meaning of the idea. it is an interpretation, literally a reflection.

The ability of so many people to live comfortably with the idea of capital punishment is perhaps a clue to how so many europeans were able to live with the idea of the holocaust: once you accept the notion that the state has the right to kill someone and the right to define what is a capital crime, aren't you halfway there?

It's rare for the studios to find a filmmaker who wants to make a family film. to find someone that has an idea, embraces it, has kids and wants to make something exciting - well, they don't see that too often.
