Wes Anderson's universe is an infinite sphere whose center is located at each point on its surface. Both the long and the short, the maximum and the minimum, are Wes Anderson in each of its particles and in the complete globality of him.
It is absurd to talk about competitiveness in art. Neither Almodóvar nor I were thinking about the Oscar when we decided to make short films. It's simply a format that suits certain stories well and that, for commercial rather than artistic reasons, has been put aside. I simply like the idea of the short film with its own entity.
