There are people who don't get it, but that's their problem. Everyone can watch it. I think of myself as my own best audience, that I'm making movies for people like me. But I never feel that my movies are limited to a particular group. The only thing I assume about the audience is that they can relate to something in the movie, which presents a wide range of situations and emotions.
Ensemble films can work precisely because they do offer a range.
In this film you see a large prismatic theme through many different points of entry. Then you can see that your experience is not so different from that person's experience. It's very pleasurable to be active in what you're watching. So many movies demand a passive response, and that can be wearing after a while. All rights reserved.
