Quote

I do have a clear vision, and I do see things that are existing in my quote-unquote spirit, but that doesn't necessary make me a very spiritual person.

When you look at any of my films you will immediately be able to tell this is a [Werner] Herzog film. Even if you didn't have any credits, in two minutes flat you would know.

English is a really wonderful language and I urge you all to investigate it

This is the birth of the modern human soul. The artists are like us, not like the Neanderthals, who had no culture - and who incidentally were still roaming the landscape at the time the paintings were made. It is striking that there is a distant cultural echo that seems to reach all the way down to us, over dozens of millennia.

I always had a feeling, for example, that there should be something from Verdi's Requiem in the film. You hear it when you see the lava flow in Iceland. That turned out to be a very easy choice.

I doubt that VR will really replace the quality of books. If you want to go into let's say the Prado in Madrid and you want to go into Hieronymus Bosch or whatever, you'd rather go into books and you take your time and it's sitting there all day long and you go back and revisit it and it becomes part of your physical life.

I do other sorts of things. I act in other people's movies. I direct operas. I write books.

For me, the distinction between documentaries and feature films is not so clear - my documentaries were largely scripted, rehearsed, and repeated, and have a lot of fantasy and concoction in them.

North Korea is not an exception. Even there, where you think it would be completely sober, they have the myth of their revolution being connected to the volcano.

Netflix knew I was going to North Korea and Ethiopia and Iceland. They saw the film and liked it and that was that.

Without dreams we would be cows in a field, and I don't want to live like that. I live my life or I end my life with this project.

Gaining trust is not difficult for me. I needed to gain the trust of the North Korean supervisors.

Image
You have to be completely open to what people would tell you. You do not shape them you do not force the materials into your ideas. You have to have all windows and doors open.

My contacts with the film industry can be described in very simple terms: The industry does not really need me, and I do not really need the industry.

I believe the common denominator of the Universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility and murder.

Fact creates norms, and truth illumination.

Image
I work very fast and steadily, and I don't hardly ever notice that I'm working. It feels like just breathing or walking when I do films.

Image
I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature.

Image
I looked, for example, to certain types of literature to which I would like to refer, like The Peregrine by J. A. Baker, and I mention a book, read this, read it, read it if you are serious of being in any type of art or into filmmaking, or films that I should quote as examples.
