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

I didn't want to overstate anything, but at the same time, the scene expands on some of the themes in the film [ "Aquarius"].

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.

It always surprises me when I see the director's versions of films released separately, long after the film's theatrical run.

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

Today we find many actors, they are Latin, they are Hispanic, they are living in the Unites States, they are American, but very rarely you find them in a lead role.

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.
