I think that the cinema is a physical thing. What I'm looking for is creating a physical shock with the audience. I don't care of the meaning. I don't care of the idea. I don't want to say something. I want to make a 'shock physique.'

I think there's not a lot of real filmmakers. There are only a few people who make real cinema. I can count them on my fingers.

When you make movies, you have to be preoccupied with the social problems, otherwise there is no point in making a movie. To have a story, you need a social problem. Not necessarily a problem, but something to get the idea for a story, otherwise there's no story.

Cinema is my religion. It is a way to make people sensitive, through emotions. To make them feel, experience empathy. People are touched and act ethically when they are emotionally touched.

Cinema is all about going back from shadow to light and back and forth: cinema is a place of transgression.

Cinema is made to film material: the body. By filming the material, the mechanical, the worker, we arrive at the spiritual.
