I Think I Avoid Stepping Into Sentimentality

I Discovered The 7th Art At Home When I Was Kid, Through Charlie Chaplin's Movies And Those Of My Father Who Shot Documentaries. He Was My Biggest Influence. So I Took His Camera And Started Shooting.

I Feel The Need To Work With My Wife, Lena Olin, Again.

Many Of The Comedies I Had Made In Sweden Were Slightly Based On Semi-autobiographical Experiences, So Adapting Novels Was A Very Different Experience.

To See My Wife Getting Inspired From My Notes And Thoughts, Going In The Direction I Wanted, And Have Her Surprise Me With Wonderful Choices Was A Real Treat.

If You're Striving For Strong Emotion And Strong Sentiment, And You're Authentic With It And Honest With It, Then You're On The Right Side Of The Line. But If You Step Into Sentimentality, There Is A False Move Or A False Tone To It.
