Well, right now, i'm very fascinated with 1920s berlin. i mean, probably the more interesting thing would be to go to the beginning of civilization or precivilization - like polytheistic times. it would be interesting to see what came before modern religion and culture - what circumstances created the environment or the need for it.

I remember i went to berlin right after the wall came down. i first went to east berlin, and all the buildings were old and falling down, and now when you go back to berlin, you know you're in the east because all the buildings are brand new and very tall.
Wall Fall East Berlin
My first visit to west berlin was in february 1983. the drive through east berlin, the fact that west berlin was surrounded by a wall that was more than 100 miles long - the absurdity and intensity of it really knocked me out.

A faith in culture is as bad as a faith in religion; both expressions imply a turning away from those very things which culture and religion are about. culture as a collective name for certain very valuable activities is a permissible word; but culture hypostatized, set up on its own, made into a faith, a cause, a banner, a platform, is unendurable. for none of the activities in question cares a straw for that faith or cause. it is like a return to early semitic religion where names themselves were regarded as powers.

Usually, when you do a period movie, you just recreate what you are shooting. you don't recreate the way you shoot it. i think i did the same thing here as i did in the oss 117 movies. i recreated the way to shoot that period, because to me, like what i was saying about the steadicam, there's no sense to do a steadicam shot in the 1920s because you have never seen the '20s like that. you can't believe there was a steadicam in the 1920s. i believe it's a continuation of the oss 117 in a way but without the irony.

Goodbye, you who are, for me, the postmarks again of shattered towns--xenia, burnt cabins, hornell-- their loneliness given away in poems, only their solitude kept.
Goodbye War Loneliness
Don’t believe the war is simply the work of politicians and capitalists. oh no, the common man is every bit as guilty; otherwise, people and nations would have re- belled long ago! there’s a destructive urge in people, the urge to rage, murder and kill. and until all of humanity, without exception, undergoes a metamorphosis, wars will continue to be waged, and everything that has been carefully built up, cultivated and grown will be cut down and destroyed, only to start allover again!
War Believe Cutting
I know not whether taxes are raised to fight wars, or wars are fought in order to raise taxes.
