Carax’s cinema is symbolic, metaphorical, magnetic. It will be love playing the chess game moving both whites and blacks and it will be chaotic.

The rhythm is different too, it’s not electric, it doesn’t shoot barrages... it’s a waltz. QT is a great director, the greatest pop director ever I believe, but on a human level, I think he’s a piece of shit.

Caligari is not derivative, does not resort to particular clichés or stereotypes, does not deliver moral lessons or gratuitous morals but exposes the facts with raw realism, bitter irony, with a particular grotesque streak. The victims are mostly helpless, almost absent, more than robberies they seem like expropriations.
