    • Quotes
      10 years ago I suddenly decided to make films after I discovered John Cassavetes and 'Direct Cinema', and these kinds of documentaries, Frederick Wiseman and Raymond Depardon and so on. I would say my film is an expression of the way I understand their work. And the way I understand how to make films as well, because I am following in their footsteps. Step by step, I am interested in going further to discover things they couldn't discover in their own work.[2006]
