· What do you find to be the most rewarding part of directing a movie?
The most rewarding part is I feel as a Director that I am more a channel for other artists to express themselves than being a dictator and controlling everything
· Just between you and me, could you tell me what the spiders were about in Enemy?
I won't answer that question! You can find the answer in the movie!
· I was really impressed with the thermal-images and the night vision-scenes in Sicario, how did you and Deakins get the idea to shoot those scenes like that?
even though Sicario technically isn't an "action movie" it definitely has the most action scenes from your filmography, were there any films that inspired you on how the pull off those action scenes?
The idea was to shoot the movie with an immersive point of view. We decided - Roger & I to use a real thermal camera and real night vision system in order to create that immersive feeling, to be as authentic as possible. My main inspiration for the action sequence was the Seven Samurai from Akira Kurosawa
· What is it like on the sets of your films like Prisoners and Sicario?
On both sets there was an equilibrium of concentration & relaxed atmosphere
What films and directors have inspired you?
For Sicario as mentioned previously I was inspired by Akira Kurosawa. I've been influenced a lot by French-Canadian Cinematographer & Director Michel Brault. Also I'm a massive Bergman, Kubrick fan
