The kind of sleep that I had during my own film [Certified Copy] screening in Cannes is different. It's not because of the specificity of the film.

I wonder how it will be received, how the audience will react. I feel deeply responsible for them. Whereas this time, I didn't have that responsibility on my shoulders.
