Q: A lot has been written about Abbas [Kiarostami] working with amateurs … do you have more of a sense why he does that?
[Juliette Binoche]: I understand, he doesn’t like acting. And I don’t either actually. I think that especially in his own country, Iran, you want to film people you love as a filmmaker. You love to hear about them, you love their voice, their eyes, something about them or something of their way of moving. If it becomes acting it feels like oh, I’m filming a method or I’m filming a way of behaving or the actor’s knowledge and it’s not inspiring.
