I like him as an independent thinker.
And I say thinker, not just the one who has destroyed his opponents in the ring.
What happened to the film?
It never materialized.
There was a project where I wanted to have him as an actor.
and the film was never financed.
When I make a few films in a row, four or five films, not much resonance, bad reviews.
I can survive it because I know the film is good and it will eventually find its audience.
I know that time...
in a way, is on my side, because I'm not in a trend.
I've never been in any trend.
A very good example is Aguirre, the Wrath of God, which was a very hard film to do, and it was rejected by everyone.
The festivals rejected it.
It got very bad reviews in Germany.
I mean, really, really bad ones.
It took five years until first audiences
in France started to see it and like it.
