As a spectator, I have very eclectic taste, whether it's comedies or action or very small, intimate films. And I feel as a filmmaker I should be able….
I see people growing more and more isolated in their lives. It's not like it's a new thing, but it's more preoccupying now as you can do so many thin….

Yes, I am very prolific..
Love stories that are too simple don't deserve to have films made about them..
