Personal Quote:
I want to make tonal movies [like
Viimeinen elokuva (1971) ] where plot is almost obscene. In fact, I think I get in trouble because my movies are presented as plot-driven vehicles, so I'm perceived more for that characteristic when in reality my tastes are more here, more like Kubrick and
Blow-Up - Erään suudelman jälkeen (1966).

Trademark:
Films often use an event from the main character's past as a major connection to what is happening in the present (the Vincent Gray case in
Kuudes aisti (1999), the car crash in
Unbreakable - särkymätön (2000), the death of the wife in
Signs (2002))
