Therefore, when you see the end result, it's difficult to see who's the director, me or them. Ultimately, everything belongs to the actors - we just manage the situation.
Directors don't always create, they can also destroy with too many demands.
I am still very surprised that I managed to make that film [Close Up]. When I actually look back on that film, I really feel that I was not the director but instead just a member of the audience.
I didn't just see myself as a film director here [in Life And Nothing More], but also as an observer of people who had been condemned to death.
