As A European Filmmaker, You

Pornography, It Seems To Me, Is No Different From War Films Or Propaganda Films In That It Tries To Make The Visceral, Horrific, Or Transgressive Elements Of Life Consumable.

On The Set I Make Jokes I Can't Get Too Involved, Or It Turns Into Sentimental Soup. I Try To Keep It Light.

In My Film "benny's Video," I Depicted Violence But I Failed To Say All That I Had To Say, So I Wanted To Continue The Dialog And That's Why I Did "funny Games." The Irony Is That After I Shot "funny Games," But It Hadn't Been Released At All Anywhere.

It Became A Gamble To Myself Whether I Was Able To Do The Exact Same Film ["funny Games"]under Very Different Circumstances.

Because In The Feudal System Of That Period At Least 80% Of People Lived In Villages, So It's Very Simple To Get A Cross-section Of Society In A Single Village. You Get The Microcosm Of The Social Macrocosm.
