Knowing Something

"I want to make movies that you can't go to in a car or plane or a boat. You've got to buy a theatre ticket to go into that world, to have that experience. I would like to think you could be taken into a space that is film-space, even if it's only for a moment within the film and it needs all the rest of the film to make it happen. In this sound-and-picture space, you should know something, or have a feeling that you couldn't have unless there was cinema. I know there has to be a story. I'm interested in that. But I like the idea that film can be really film as we well as do the other things."
