I have two kids now and through watching them, I keep having flashbacks to my own childhood.

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.

The ruins of classic movie theaters are a personal obsession of mine, and I've made a couple of documentaries about it.

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.

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.

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'm not saying that we need more stories about people of a certain age, we just need more great stories about people.

[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.

You can keep yourself alive. That's the magic of being an actor.
Sonia Braga
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
These 150-minute superhero films that Hollywood is making are so concerned with their length that each scene doesn't have the time it needs to make sense.

I like visual arts, and what I love doing is participating in the making of it.

When I wrote the script [of Aquarius], it seemed to hold people's interest.

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.

We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.

We did receive some questions about the film's [Aquarius] sexuality in Cannes, but they came from the press rather than audiences.

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.
