Это для меня простота и гениальность. Я имею в виду фильм Любовь. Он кажется даже примитивным, как Джотто. Тоже простой, прямолинейный… Я очень люблю Джотто и полюбила Ханеке. Мне еще многое нравится, я вообще всеядна. Люблю, восторгаюсь. Но все остальное — ниже, чем Ханеке.
This is simplicity and genius for me. I mean the movie Amour. It seems almost primitive, like Giotto. Also simple, straightforward… I really love Giotto and have grown fond of Haneke. I like many things, I’m quite omnivorous. I love, I admire. But everything else is beneath Haneke.

Я четыре раза пересматривала Царя Эдипа. Такое удовольствие чувствовала, что-то божественное. Полюбила как-то заново.
I've watched Oedipus Rex four times. I felt such pleasure, something divine. Fell in love with it all over again.
