More quotes by Sonia Braga
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.
Sonia Braga
It makes sense that somebody told you that you made the film from your perspective as a father.
Sonia Braga
The way I see it, I belong to the film as any other department.
Sonia Braga
When I wrote the script [of Aquarius], it seemed to hold people's interest.
Sonia Braga
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.
Sonia Braga
The only thing I know is that we came from the stars, and that we have the same material as the stars. That's all that I know. Everything else I don't know.
Sonia Braga
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.
Sonia Braga
We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.
Sonia Braga
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
We did receive some questions about the film's [Aquarius] sexuality in Cannes, but they came from the press rather than audiences.
Sonia Braga
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.
Sonia Braga
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.
Sonia Braga
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
You can keep yourself alive. That's the magic of being an actor.
Sonia Braga
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.
Sonia Braga
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
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
I'm not saying that we need more stories about people of a certain age, we just need more great stories about people.
Sonia Braga
And getting older, what's happening is, I play only mothers.
Sonia Braga
I have two kids now and through watching them, I keep having flashbacks to my own childhood.
