It’s incredibly sad and scary because art is basically the only thing, besides sex, water, and happiness, that makes us exist. The signs are full and corrupted with money and cocaine.
Reflecting on his long-standing considerations about the crisis of cinema, the director adds that the audience must also fight for the sanctity of cinematic art, explaining that we must not surrender to artificial intelligence (one of the reasons for the strike of screenwriters and actors). :

Finally, he talks about his relationship with cinema and says:
We are the product of our upbringing (…), I grew up in New York. My mother and stepfather were Scandinavian socialists who hated violent American films. I definitely had a rebellious attitude towards my parents’ attitudes, and a film like Suspiria clearly had a huge influence on me. I remember watching it with my mom, because she was so curious to see what I was watching, and she was shocked, which made it even better.
