Sonia Braga quotes about
successful film
The film [Aquarius" ] is very, very successful. We had the highest per-screen average of last week's releases.
father perspective film
It makes sense that somebody told you that you made the film from your perspective as a father.
men film men-and-women
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.
believe cutting film
It's so sad to me [see the director's versions of films] because it shows how the filmmaker never got to make the film he had originally envisioned. You watch it and go, "Oh my god, he had to cut that scene! I can't believe it."
superhero film scene
These 150-minute superhero films that Hollywood is making are so concerned with their length that each scene doesn't have the time it needs to make sense.
helping film scene
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.
film scene
I didn't want to overstate anything, but at the same time, the scene expands on some of the themes in the film [ "Aquarius"].
strong confusing film
When you actually see it, it is quite strong, but there's nothing really pornographic about it. They are high-impact yet very short moments of sexuality, which makes it very confusing for the censors. If censors were merely human beings who watch a film ["Aquarius"] and come out with a conclusion about what they saw, then there wouldn't be a problem.
film term
["Aquarius"] it had a bit of a rocky arrival in cinemas because we were given the 18+ rating, which did not make any sense in terms of the Brazilian rating system for a film like this.
thinking film saddened
I think anybody who was ever saddened by a movie theater closing would be able to understand this film [Aquarius].
thinking nostalgia film
I just hope the film [Aquarius] doesn't feel overly nostalgic because too much nostalgia for me leads to depression. I think Clara is very pragmatic.
night film last-night
When Sônia [Braga] talked about the script in detail, it was as if she had seen the film [Aquarius] last night, even though it hadn't existed yet. It was a completely bulls - t-less reaction, so I knew it had to be her, and she has been great ever since.
relationships
I think Pedro understands the universe, the same vision I have, about relationships anyhow.
believe people regime
Part of Berta, believe it or not, is one of my friends, one of the people who disappeared in the Brazilian regime when we had the dictatorship.
