Director's Statement
“
I like honesty and emotional depth. I find them in the films of the Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami (“10”, “close up”). “Man Escaped” by Robert Bresson, gave me the courage to shoot compressed and expressive drama. Japanese films Shows how cinema can be an internal investigation.
