You know what I would like to do: make a film with actors standing in empty space so that the spectator would have to imagine the background of the characters.
Normally, however, I try to avoid repetitions of any shot.
When man becomes reconciled to nature, when space becomes his true background, these words and concepts will have lost their meaning, and we will no longer have to use them.
I don't want what I am saying to sound like a prophecy or anything like an analysis of modern society... these are only feelings I have, and I am the least speculative man on earth.
I mean simply to say that I want my characters to suggest the background in themselves, even when it is not visible. I want them to be so powerfully realized that we cannot imagine them apart from their physical and social context even when we see them in empty space.
We live in a society that compels us to go on using these concepts, and we no longer know what they mean.
