“Paper Tiger” director James Gray says he doesn’t “want to preach” about politics:
“All movies are political in one way or another, but I like movies that exist with subtext. I don’t want to preach to you. That’s a polemic. That’s for debate class. The reason we can watch some of those beautiful Hollywood movies from 1940 and still find them moving is because they weren’t trying to teach us a lesson. Not Sunday school. Art is not Sunday school.”
