A very, very impressive director, Tomas Alfredson. It's only his second film [ 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'], but he's a real find.
The first film is everything you want to say and how you want to say it. Lots of directors will do that and do it really well, but the second film is not so easy.
On the sequel, you've lost the element of surprise. Usually, on the first one you may not go very, very deep into character; the second one you start to explore the character a bit more.
When my second film 'Dus' released, I was still getting compliments for 'Tum Bin' because it was a hit on satellite channels.
I'd say the film to avoid is a director's second film, particularly if his first film was a big success. The second film is where you've really needed to have learned something.
Certainly in the second film [Maigret's Dead Man], which is quite a more unpleasant and darker story, it's quite different in tone and feel.
After you've done the first feature, then you have heck of a difficult time getting your second film off the ground. They look at your first film and they say, "Oh well, we don't want you anymore."
I suppose the most fun I had was on the second film.
I have always believed that the choice of your second film is as important as you first film.
I didn't foresee troubles in my second film.
In so many reviews that I'm reading of 'The Florida Project,' everyone is assuming it's my second film.
