Few of your films are in contemporary or real-world
settings, but do you have contemporary political and
social issues in mind when you're making them?

TG: Always. I think everything I've done has been me
making my comments disguised with period costumes and
silly sets. I mean, it's a way of abstracting, because
I think it's easier for people to swallow some of the
things I've put forward because it's not right on the
nose. I've always argued that my approach to making
statements about the world is the Mary Poppins
approach, where a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine
goes down.
