I Was Born At A Bad Time

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.

The Silent Film Has A Lot Of Meanings. The First Part Of The Film Is Comic. It Represents The Burlesque Feel Of Those Silent Films. But I Think That The Second Part Of The Film Is Full Of Tenderness And Emotion.

After The Enormous Success Of All About My Mother, All The Awards And Everything, I Wanted To Start A Movie In Exactly The Same Place That I Used To Be Before. I Wanted To Show That All Of The Success Had Not Changed My Perception.

Whenever I Arrive On A Real Location, I Have To Move Around And Work Out What The Best Angles Are Going To Be.

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.
