Declaration

film director

“Initially I really liked the idea of a character who was asked to do something by everybody, and then he does it, and then suddenly everyone changes ninety degrees and says, ‘No, that wasn’t what we wanted at all.’ […] The duality of characters just loving and hating each other equally, that is something I don’t see enough of in drama. It’s usually much more binary than that: people hate each other or love each other; they never do both at the same time. And I think what’s closer to my experience of life is that these people can do both at the same time”
