In conversation
Presenter asks
0:08Entertainment seems to have been the primary factor in your career. Is that something you're proud of?
I'm not ashamed of that. I think it's our first duty to entertain.
Presenter asks
0:12Where do you find your subjects mainly? From books you read? From plays?
I don't read very many books in looking for film material. I do a great deal of reading, but for enjoyment.
Presenter asks
0:17Cinema audiences are still falling throughout the world. Until this situation evens out, it must be rather a tricky market to aim at. Do you find that?
I don't find it so. I think there's an enormous and most attractive market throughout the world. Some of my films nowadays are seen by hundreds of millions of people.
Presenter asks
The keepsakes
The luxury
Is the audience younger than it used to be? And is it more knowledgeable, more sophisticated?
I think they probably are. But I personally don't worry whether people I don't worry about it. I don't aim at any specific age audience.
Presenter asks
0:27Most films these days are co-productions with sometimes foreign capital, sometimes foreign stars. Isn't it a pity that films should lose national identity?
I don't really think so. Film is an international medium, and the world anyhow is becoming a very small place.
