“Directors who have inspired me include Billy Wilder, Federico Fellini, lngmar Bergman, John Ford, Orson Welles, Werner Herzog, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Francis Ford Coppola and Ernst Lubitsch.

It's the same thing for a painter who wants his paintings to be seen.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantBelieveTwoWould BeCareFilmAudiencePaintingDirectorsDon't BelieveCreatorPainterBotherExplanationWorking ItEquationsMasturbationReceiverHe Doesn't Care Author:Michael Haneke
