"Often we don’t know what to do, how to occupy ourselves. Then at other times we’re very busy and the idea of creating ourselves seems less important. But suddenly we find it is there, the question: Who are we? Yet everyone else seems to know who we are."

Christian Petzold says that MIROIRS NO. 3 will be a “portrait of a family, and it’s actually a bit of a horror film because there are horror aspects to all families.”
Later, paraphrasing Chabrol: “Men in film live while women in films survive.”
