I Think That The Consciousness Of Passion

Once We Actually Have The Production Script After Many Rewrites, At That Point Is When I Start To Decide What The Look And Colors Will Be. I Work Like A Painter, Even Though I'm Working In Three Dimensions. I'm Working With Chairs. I'm Working With Walls. But Even Things Like The Floor Or The Walls That People Might Think Are Not Important, They Actually Do Influence The Visual Look Of The Film. These Are Also Things That I Have To Think About.

After The Enormous Success Of All About My Mother, All The Awards And Everything, I Wanted To Start A Movie In Exactly The Same Place That I Used To Be Before. I Wanted To Show That All Of The Success Had Not Changed My Perception.

I Also Wanted To Express The Strength Of Cinema To Hide Reality, While Being Entertaining. Cinema Can Fill In The Empty Spaces Of Your Life And Your Loneliness.

Anything That Is Not Autobiography Is Plagiarism.

It's A Pity That I Can Never Really Enjoy My Movies Because, After The Mixing, Your Capacity As A Spectator Just Disappears. I Have To Think About What I Felt Just Before The Mixing.
