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.

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.

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.

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

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

A reporter told me it is very rare to see a woman of my age in the movies. Right! In the movies! But they have been for so long in very serious and important positions in life: scientists, prime ministers, candidates to be the president.

It makes sense that somebody told you that you made the film from your perspective as a father.
