Entrevista Com Paul Schrader // Interview with Paul Schracer

you know certainly will be a character wont be the kind of version I did when I was very young i describe the film is about some young people who got in line to go to a movie and in the movie theatre closed and they stayed in line because they have nowhere else to go It's about a generation of of five kids about your age - 20 years old who are making movie, making an movie and they don't even like movies She is high-minded person she lives in the world crises most of which are made by her so exhaustive uh... but she has that strange thing that makes you you can't keep yours eyes off it her i was reading, while we were shooting, a book "The Misfits" John Houston film Houston was saying about Marilyn Monroe who was also extremely difficulty no one who work with marilyn enjoyed an unpleasant experience uh... Houston said you know you wonder why you are putting yourself through this and then you look at the daily's and you say "That's why!" so it's not dissimilar with lindsay very exhausting times but this is real mystery about certain people on the camera There are probably hundreds thousands guys who look like Tom Cruise but he is the one who you watch Why? Why? and so much filmmaking is cast and so no directors will put up with a lot because if you have the right people it's better to put up with a lot easy time with the wrong person We did as a micro budget and uh... so brett wrote in Los Angeles and he wrote for the places that we know the friends and the restaurants and so we could get it made that way was a whole different way of working I never made I never made student films uh... the first film I directed was for universal So I came through writing to directing not to making small films and commercials So this film I did this year It's the first student film there I have made it's kind of a film cooperative bunch of people working together who will share that process they're not taking any money no trailers anything why don't reputation so it was like a student film and uh... It's turned out great um... uh... I learned a lot about what you don't need most of bit I have never attempted to make film in that style and I couldn't It's a filmmaker that I admire enormous as a artistic influence very little you know sometimes it goes a little stabilising kind of shots I like that he uses no, he is just a filmmaker meant a lot today still does but i wouldn't call an influence I thought it was good I don't think he did I mean somebody has to be encharge I am the younger brother and I was encharge so automatically that work relationship fell apart, porque he felt I was treating him like an employee which I guess I was if I am the boss of the script and the boss of the idea, than of course the other person is gonna be thinking themselves as an employee I got involved writing with him just one so I can work faster and two because you know he had particulary when it comes to The Yakuza he has all the information about the Japan background and everything He sent me a letter we have been corresponding because I was asking questions in order to do and uh... and i was Film critic in Los Angeles and so he actually thought maybe I knew some people and I got this letter seeing If I could help him with "L'Argent" here I am a Film Critic first from an independent newspapers lol or he clearly doesn't know what he was asking Jake didn't like his brother flip-flop he wrote his own audubon but even though his brother original brother developed that into the script and they couldn't get a maidan differences of the activa rewrite it resurgent vincent brother lisa box together and and uh... that's the story even wanna talk about the fact that he has a book should basically really makes it interesting i mean the notes from the underground it was the first really refer to those characters those kind of and heroes then became the extensive hearings uh... last fall deal that's all that character was born and i knew out the door to ask you both be needed taxi driver was intentional do the book that i can do with this character country that you've become stormy first forgive me clarendon his mark literary tradition barshefsky ended from the french existential issue suction uh... for me are you know he media login hope within a week ago that place personally hello uniform and i will decided the idea of his character came to me and uh... how behind you to write about it because i was afraid with the company and would united separated from mister deptford deodorants well within two months go before the whitley wal-mart about is that if we all do it because uh... renewals uh... and was summoned you trying to do it and so home memory likes to say that that that there is more mined redeemable mort uh... and that uh... recommendation and another problem it's not the spirit of god between the result of stories and characters uh... i i i don't write even for a scheduled to make himself the balkans written by uh... regard and it's really quite used to it empathy so you have and he's been abstract being adapted uh... protestant in order to be filmed bypassed so all revolves lives find their way into that well um... hendrickson fairy hip two thousand well going to be a good sense of young people knowledge not default it all happened so quickly half term about it and january he wrote the script in february and march we shot it in july and uh... build premier that you really don't think it was made media interest rate and dad working at that speed will in europe and i think it feels very much like abysmal if you were going to like about it so much does most movies by the time they beaconsfield admitted life
