I like visual arts, and what I love doing is participating in the making of it.
Sonia Braga
Image
Everybody else is going to react differently to the film [Aquarius], but what I love about it is that both men and women are going to react to it because they will find themselves represented.
Sonia Braga
Image
When Sônia [Braga] talked about the script in detail, it was as if she had seen the film [Aquarius] last night, even though it hadn't existed yet. It was a completely bulls - t-less reaction, so I knew it had to be her, and she has been great ever since.

And getting older, what's happening is, I play only mothers.

Image
I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.
Sonia Braga
Image
When was it that people decided as a society that your body is in one place and your sexuality in another place, something like a hat, or a coat, that when you leave home you hang it and when you come back home you say, Ah! Let's wear my sexuality! I might wear it tonight? It is something that belongs to your body.

To be naked or even making love in a scene to me is very important if this is a movie about a couple or sensuality. It's a sort of moralism to think that this shouldn't be seen in the film.

The ruins of classic movie theaters are a personal obsession of mine, and I've made a couple of documentaries about it.
Sonia Braga
Image
You see all these old buildings [in Rio] going down or catching fire overnight, and it is so sad. I am very connected with these buildings because they are our history. It is the only one that we have.
Sonia Braga
Image
It makes sense that somebody told you that you made the film from your perspective as a father.
Sonia Braga
Image
If you take away money, if you take away the houses and things, who are we really? What is love really about? What is it to love each other? Why do we stay together, and why do all the kids split? All these questions I have really deep inside of me.

The way I see it, I belong to the film as any other department.

Sônia Braga reacted in a beautiful way to the draft I sent her, so we just made the film [Aquarius] as I had written it. Emilie [Lesclaux], my wife and producer, told me, This is not a two-hour film. This is going to be longer. And I said, Well, let's try and make it work, whatever length it is.

I didn't like the script [of Aquarius], I loved it.
Sonia Braga
Image
Women at my age they are making love, they are feeling sensual, they flirt, they have boyfriends, they have a sexual life. They are just not being represented in the movies.
Sonia Braga
Image
Ultimately, you just have to do what feels right for the film. It really helps when you have great collaborators like my editor, Eduardo Serrano, who kept telling me various scenes should be longer.

I grew up in a very open-minded family. My father died when I was very little, so my mother was really, really incredibly busy trying to provide for us.

Of course, I was a little concerned about it being over two hours [in Aquarius ]. Neighboring Sounds was two hours and eleven minutes. This is two hours and twenty-five minutes, and I did try bringing it down. For instance, I considered cutting out the sequence with the family looking at pictures.

I keep boxes filled with recuerdos - little memories that are in the form of pictures and events that I've written down. It's funny that I chose to write them in Spanish rather than English or Portuguese.

[Aquarius] it had a bit of a rocky arrival in cinemas because we were given the 18+ rating, which did not make any sense in terms of the Brazilian rating system for a film like this.
