Ali Abbasi on movies and politics
A naive kind of director who thinks everything will be easy on set, everyone will be helpful and all the critics are going to love it. And we will make a lot of money. None of this ever happens. On a more serious note, I’m not the kind of director who rehearses a lot with the actors. A lot of the ideas about directing, the mise-en-scène and all that should be in the script. Therefore, a lot of the things should have been discussed before, so when you get on set it’s more about doing it. I was always lucky to work with actors who were very well prepared.
