« Realistic cinema is something I really like, but for me it’s way too hard. I think you have to be extremely talented to make realistic cinema. And still I don’t know if it exists in the first place. I don’t even think documentaries are very realistic. So since I don’t think I have the capability to depict something in a realistic way, and it is the scariest and hardest thing to me, I pick the easy route, which is to try to describe my story with exaggeration. So I make something very unealistic, in order to show something very realistic. I’ll speak in an absurd way about something logical. This helps not let me lose my grip. I always remind myself that what I’m saying exists. So I never lose sense of what I’m doing. » (Efthimis Filippou sur le processus d’écriture de Dogtooth)
