American film director and screenwriter who won an Academy Award, master of psychological cinema.
Youth is so bright and yet so fragile at the same time. I film it because I know: this is a moment that will never return.
The visual language of my films is the language my inner world speaks. Every frame is a confession.
I believe in the power of silence. Sometimes the most important things happen between the lines, when characters say nothing.
Lost in Translation is about loneliness that you can feel even in a crowd. It is the most human of all feelings.
Clothing is not just fabric, it is a language. In my films, every dress tells a character's story better than dialogue.
I keep everything — every photo, every note. Cinema is built from fragments of memory that we collect over years.
