I was taught by someone who loved observational films where people are
made to feel completely adequate about the way they are. That is what
makes an insightful film.
A film is a portrait of an aspect of society.
I'd never use "middle-class" as a term for describing someone. It's so
meaningless. So bland.
Dennis Potter once said watching my films was like watching somebody on the toilet. Strangely enough, I think the same could be said about him.
