I Don't Want To Imitate Life In

When I Make A Film, I Never Stop Uncovering Mysteries, Making Discoveries. When I'm Writing, Filming, Editing, Even Doing Promotional Work, I Discover New Things About The Film, About Myself, And About Others. That Is What I'm Subconsciously Looking For When Shooting A Film: To Glimpse The Enigmas Of Life, Even If I Don't Resolve Them, But At Least To Uncover Them. Cinema Is Curiosity In The Most Intense Meaning Of The Word.

All My Movies Have An Autobiographical Dimension, But That Is Indirectly, Through The Characters. In Fact I Am Behind Everything That Happens And That Is Said, But I Am Never Talking About Myself In First Person. Something In Me - Probably A Dislike Of Cheap Exhibitionism- Stops Me From Approaching A Project Too Autobiographically.

I Used This Line To Demonstrate How Important Colors Are In Movies: It's Not A Caprice.

When I Was Very Young, I Was Already A Fabulador. I Loved To Give My Own Version Of Stories That Everybody Already Knew. When I Got Out Of A Movie With My Sisters, I Retold Them The Whole Story. In General They Liked My Version Better Than The One They Had Seen.

Once We Actually Have The Production Script After Many Rewrites, At That Point Is When I Start To Decide What The Look And Colors Will Be. I Work Like A Painter, Even Though I'm Working In Three Dimensions. I'm Working With Chairs. I'm Working With Walls. But Even Things Like The Floor Or The Walls That People Might Think Are Not Important, They Actually Do Influence The Visual Look Of The Film. These Are Also Things That I Have To Think About.
