    • Quotes
      [on his influences] The two real influences on cinema when I was growing up were the French New Wave and the Czech New Wave. I was fortunate to get to know and become friendly with Jiří Menzel, Ivan Passer and to a certain extent Miloš Forman. It was a great influence on me. There was a certain part of that world I wasn't so interested in, the sort of magical realism cinema. But I really loved Czech humor.
