“I intended it, you know, on a much more pretentious, deep level. You know, that people are faced in life with chosing between reality and fantasy. And it’s very pleasant to choose fantasy, but that way lies madness. And you’re forced finally to choose reality, and reality always disappoints, always hurts you. You know, that was what made me do the film. And of course the idea that someone comes off the screen.”
