She is now writing her third novel. Possibly I will have to make some kind of choice. A number of writers gave up writing to be directors. The film thing is tremendously seductive. The simple pleasure of working with people.
Writing is such an ascetic solitary occupation.
I would love to make a big outdoor film with lots of people. My second film, which will be made next summer in Sweden, will be much less claustrophobic. It takes place in a seaside resort. It has six main characters, one a child. The third will have 25 characters.
