People often say, with pride, 'I'm not interested in politics. ' They might as well say, 'I'm not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future. '. . . If we mean to keep any control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics.
Jean-Luc Godard
I like the idea of making films about ostensibly absolutely nothing. I like the irrelevant, the tangential, the sidebar excursion to nowhere that suddenly becomes revelatory. That's what all my movies are about. That and the idea that we're in possession of certainty, truth, infallible knowledge, when actually we're just a bunch of apes running around. My films are about people who think they're connected to something, although they're really not.
