Jonathan Marlow has a rare and excellent interview with Czech Filmmaker Jan Svankmajer whose new film Lunacy opens in the US this week:

"For me, my work is actually a sort of auto-therapy. This is how I use it. But it doesn't really work forever, it only works for sometime and then, when it's over, I again have to make a new film. Actually, the auto-therapy is the process of filmmaking. When I am making a film, it's my self-therapy but everything that comes after that is just killing me again. It's something like festivals, this life after death."

Wow. (greencine)
