Summary

This quote suggests that it is acceptable for directors to create films that are connected or resonate with their previous work. It implies that directors have the freedom to explore themes, styles, or ideas that they have previously explored or are known for, without it being considered repetitive or unoriginal. This can be seen as a means for directors to express their creative vision and establish an artistic cohesion throughout their body of work. Ultimately, the quote supports the idea that personal artistic growth and self-referentiality within a director's filmography can be seen as a positive rather than a limitation.
