I think theres so many things to investigate in the ritual of interviewer and subject.

The journalist believes hes an expert on internet rights and he starts to play around.

Theres not one word that makes any sense at all!

So much about live television is that everyone is so scared of creating chaos.

The Squarefeatures chaos too starting with the protagonist getting his wallet stolen in a scam on the street.

Did I hear thats something that actually happened to you?Its a combination really.

We heard a woman yelling, Help!

I was forced into playing the hero.

I wasnt robbed but what I liked about it was this guy next to me broke the bystander effect.

He grabbed my arm and was like, you and me, lets create a group.

I was so proud afterward!

If someone is asking you for help and you get robbed?

And to look at me that way, too.

My behavior is very dependent on what is going on around me.

Its easy for me to identify with doing the wrong thing.

WhenForce Majeurewasnt nominated a travesty!

for an Oscar you made a really funny video where you pretend to freak out.

We thought: What should we do now?

Then we realized we could do something fun with it.

We recorded me screaming and crying outside the frame later.

But hey, maybe that video will make it possible for us to be nominatedthistime!

The anglo saxon film industry is obsessed with Cinderella stories [Laughs].

Has Hollywood come calling for you to start directing big studio films?Yes.

But I also think its important to keep control of production.

Ive produced all my movies with my own production company.

Ive had so many friends go to the U.S. and get caught up in…the machine, yes.

Then they come back five years later and they still havent done anything.

What I would love is to be able to use more of the American actors.

There are so many actors here that have super potential that is not being used one hundred percent.

Who is on your wish list?Michael Cera.

I think Michael Cera I could do something with him thats not been done yet.

I remember hearing about your proposed idea for last yearsPassengers which sounded super dark and crazy.Yes.

I met with the head of production at Sony and everything and told him what I wanted to do.

Basically I thought of it as a horror movie.

And the main guy should have his family on board in the sleeping pods.

You need someone next to you.

So he has to wake up another woman.

I love this idea of [mimes swiping].

Space Tinder!Yes.

Swiping, like, This one is hot!

But come on he falls in love with her?

I think it would be much more about physical attraction.

What is your next film about?Its calledTriangle of Sadness.

Its when you have that wrinkle between your eyebrows.

I have been really quite interested in how beauty is a value that you cant transform into economics.

So this story is about a male model.

And hes getting bald.

to get to rebrand him, they suggest he date a famous girlfriend to book more jobs.

And she is a lesbian!
