The Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu has wanted to visit Ingmar Bergman’s home for a very long time. Not just because one of his films is present in Bergman’s TV-room, Inarritu’s wife is part-Swedish and during a summer not long ago they traveled together to Fårö, looking for Bergman’s house.

We asked a bunch of people in the street. What we noticed was that everybody’s voice changed. Their faces became very serious. We got the feeling that we asked for something forbidden. What I did not understand then was that they protected him.

Director Gus van Sant is considered one of the American Independent scene’s premiere film-makers. Although he has enjoyed broad commercial success with films like Good Will Hunting from 1997 it is only when van Sant challenges Hollywood’s unwritten rules that he truly thrives.

Gus van Sant

10:09:53:17-10:10:21:09

(ENGLISH)

I think that cinema has a way to exist outside what I consider an industrial model of storytelling that has been prevalent since the 20s. When sound came in there started to be a pacing and a storytelling method that was the accepted norm. And we still have it, we are still encased in that method.

Gus van Sant

10:10:22:00-10:10:31:04

(ENGLISH)

And it is almost like cinema is just a vehicle to present other written material and hasn’t really let itself become it’s own entity.

Gus van Sant

10:10:32:00-10:10:43:21

Like when people say: in Elephant you needed more answers..It’s the cinematic model speaking. It’s people needing answers on terms that they’re used to.

During the last decade has made three films on the topic of death, all of them based on actual events. The most famous and controversial is Elephant. The film is a take on the 1999 school massacre in Columbine Ohio, in the US. A tradegy where two teenagers shot and killed 12 fellow students and 2 teachers and then shot and killed themselves

Dude, what the fuck?

Don’t worry about that.

Let’s go to plan B.

Gus van Sant

10:11:23:17-10:11:53:14

(ENGLISH)

I wanted to do it that winter or that season that the event actually happened. I wanted it to be on TV as a TV-movie. And that was not going to happen, because the Tv-companies had to battle for their own cop-shows. Where people are shot with guns. Which was pointed out as maybe a possibility. Like – that’s influencing our kids. So they weren’t going to make a TV-movie.

Gus van Sant

10:11:56:00-10:12:01:14

That was going to be the poster for Elephant but they changed the photo in it.

10:12:02:19-10:12:12:03

Elephant won the Golden Palm at the Cannes Filmfestival but was also heavily critized, many felt that the film didn’t give sufficient answers as to why the two teenagers massacred their class-mates.

In Elephant we are reviewing the usual suspects. Which are: availability of guns, bullying, loneliness, parental dysfunction.

Gus van Sant

10:13:24:17-10:13:35:09

We are allowing the usual suspects to drift by, as reasons why the characters lash out. It was the method of the film.

The shooting at Columbine was followed by a fierce debate as to how such a thing could happen. Gus van Sant doesn’t offer simple explanations but one of the reasons he made Elephant was that he felt he could identify with the frustrated students at Columbine highschool.

That’s me..

Gus van Sant

10:13:55:12 -10:14:16:11

I would have belonged to the kids that were the troublemakers..Another reason I made that movie was that I related to the kids that went insane and shot their fellow students.

Many others have tried to come to terms with what happened at Columbine. One of them is Matt Stone, the creator of the American television series South Park.

Gus van Sant

10:14:42:23 -10:15:24:23

(ENGLISH)

Matt Stone thought the reason that those kids did such an horrific thing was that they felt that they weren’t included in the society of the school. The school was so big. And they were expected to do, to achieve so much, from the parents. That they felt that they were outside the system. They felt they would never be a part of the system. And they were under the impression that life would be like that too. It would go on forever. That they had already lost their way, as 17 year olds. And that because they felt that way – they were committing suicide and getting back at the school

So far Inarritu has made only four feature films but has already established himself as a great international film-maker. All Inarritu’s pictures are global and set in many different countries. His ambition is to make films with universal appeal. He chooses themes, such as death that can touch as many people as possible and with such an aim it’s important to use the world as a scenery.

Alejandro G Inarritu

I’m good at comedy, that was my natural gift. And I can do comedy. I’m not so good at drama. It’s much harder for me, in the sense that..like say for Bergman – I didn’t find him very good at comedy but he was fabulous at drama. I have more of a flare for comedy. It comes more easily to me and I could always do it.  I could always get an audience laughing or see things through a comic perspective. When I try and do dramatic things I’m not as sure-footed and I don’t do as well. I did reasonably well once or twice but I should have a better record. I wish I could be better, I’m going to try again. You know, I don’t mind trying and I don’t mind failing but I prefer to succeed. It just doesn’t come so easily to me.

I think in some ways similar without comparing us as film-makers, I couldn’t live through that comparison but as people I think so I think we both were fragile and highly neurotic, both not suited to life as we know it on this planet..I think there’s a lot of similarities, no good ones! But I think we probably share a lot of weaknesses

10:25:11:00 -10:26:43:16

You’ve commented that happiness is impossible since death is always around the corner – is comedy a good way of dealing with that?

There is no real way of dealing with it. All you can do is distract yourself. If you don’t distract yourself then you’re faced with thinking about it. Thinking about it it’s a terrifying and impossible loosing proposition. So it’s best to try and not think about it and if not thinking about it means that you turn on a Fred Astaire movie or you go to a football game or you spend your energy trying to write a play and figure out the problems of the second act and they consume you – great – be consumed by this trivia. If I’m preoccupied working then I’m emerged in solvable problems. SO if I can’t think of a good idea for a movie, if I’m editing a movie or writing a script or I can’t get the actor I want – it seems like the end of the world and I’m so crushed and the picture wont be good and the scene’s not coming together – as if that means anything!

Working for me has been a big a big relief from the grim realities of every day life.

I thought it was a challenge and in some way for me an occasion to go back, to revisit myself when I was 20 and involved in those events and for me it was a very important formative experience which shaped my life and who I am in a very deep way and Palach was the standing point because when Palach emulated himself to death, his death was a big shock for the society and people identified with his sacrifice, they understood his sacrifice..And he became in a few days a national hero. But when one month later another young student did the same thing no one wanted to hear about it. And during this one month you can see that the society, the nation had been broken.

Agnieszka Holland has often touched upon difficult subjects when making films. In addition to The Wire and many other Tv-series she has also made three films about the Holocaust. Holland grew up in Poland, her mother was Catholic and her father was Jewish and the family suffered a great deal in, during and after World War 2. As a result Holland is quite ambivalent about films on the topic of the Holocaust.

Agnieszka Holland:

(ENGLISH)

It is very difficult to build up this iconography of Holocaust with out repeating the images which became so over-used that they became some kind of kliché. And not going into people’s sensivity, so I think you have to be more real, in some ways. We’ve had enough of English speaking Holocaust movies. They are just fake.

Holland has had great success with her films. And the latest – In Darkness was nominated for an Oscar in 2011. At the same time she thinks her choice of topics has made it difficult for her to get her films made.

In some way you break the rule when you come into this world as a woman. And you are punished for that. Everything is more difficult and of course some subjects, when you are in America, for example, some subjects are practically excluded for women. That’s why Kathryn Bigelow is such an hero, because she is constantly breaking those rules.

What impresses me about Bergman is his capacity. He seems to be a man in absolute contact with his emotions

Alejandro G Inarritu

I think, for example, that Bergman was a master at being in the right place, at just the right moment to affect you emotionally

Ingmar Bergman is Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s favorite director. Visiting the beach where Bergman’s film Persona was shot is almost the highpoint of his visit.

It’s amazing, cause it seems like…like an old railroad. You would never believe that this was used for a filmshot. Look at this work!!

I wouldn’t be able to make the films I do if I didn’t know the other side. Obviously I have a very dark side and a lot of demons. I have survived because of my curiosity and love of life. I keep talking about the dark, in fear of loosing the light.

Francis Ford Coppola/ Interviewer

So Mr Coppola, first of all – are you an adventurous person?

Yes, I think so.

Laura Dern

I was going to make an adventure movie. Something that I’d never done  before and thought I’d never do again and was slightly odd and different for me and for my career

I’m only thinking..There are so many films..Has he seen them all?

He’s rented them and never returned them?  Hey man, I’m Bergman – come and get me!
