Alejandro Gonzalez
Alejandro Gonzalez
intense life
I'm an intense person. My own vision of life has always been heavy.
ends process time
I don't know if I have a career or not, or where it ends or it begins. I have been working, doing what I do for a long time. But my creative process has always been so tortuous.
'Ikiru' is existential but with a lot of tenderness.
If you stretch tragedy, it will always become comedy. That's the comedy that I like.
lived tolstoy
In 'A Confession,' Tolstoy found meaning that he could hold on to, and he lived for another 30 years.
allen among filmmakers greats van woody
I like so many different directors: Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Jarmusch, Gus van Sant, Woody Allen and the greats like Fellini, Bergman, Tarkovsky and among current filmmakers von Trier, Ang Lee, Wong Kar-wai.
human
I'm very curious, I guess, as a human being.
pronounce time
In hotels, every time I make a reservation and they never find my name, they never can pronounce it; it's so long, and sometimes they confuse.
design
I have a notebook, and I know what decisions will be made in pre-production. Everything is pre-determined in the pre-production period. I visually design the whole thing, and I know when things will happen.
men parent weakness
I just wanted to show the migrants as complex humans with flaws and weakness, with good and bad things, and show that they're parents and family men. I wanted to show them with everything, as they are.
