When I show a film at a festival, I am showing myself. Everything is at stake for me.

I am not very tough with raising my children, but you can argue that to be more tough will help your children.

I would say that I am a poor Christian; I'm not a believer. It was this idea very early in my life that life on Earth, nature or man could not be a creation of a merciful God.

I had to fight so much for the film. It was not very pleasant, but it's rewarding in another way. But it has not been pleasant.

I also wanted t do a film with a religious motif, a film about miracles. At the same time, I wanted to do a completely naturalistic film.

I prefer to work with unassailable ideas. And I wanted to do a film about goodness.
