Did you know
- TriviaWhen actors on the set of The Baby of Mâcon (1993) pointed out that he was introducing continuity errors, Peter replied that 'Continuity is boring.'
- QuotesCinema doesn't connect with the body as artists have in two thousand years of painting, using the nude as the central figure which the ideas seem to circulate around. I think it is important to somehow push or stretch or emphasize, in as many ways as I can, the sheer bulk, shape, heaviness, the juices, the actual structure of the body. Cinema basically examines a personality first and the body afterward.
- TrademarksStrong, and manipulative female characters
