Craft Section | What Directors Are Saying
"It is difficult to say what the director's responsibility is. It can be either commercial or artistic — only in rare cases can it be both. I think a director's responsibilities are to his employers to a great extent. After all, they have invested a large amount of money in the picture. But the director also has a responsibility to his conscience not to compromise too much. So, in the end, it is really a kind of constant tightrope walking."
