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.
It makes sense that somebody told you that you made the film from your perspective as a father.
The way I see it, I belong to the film as any other department.
We did receive some questions about the film's [Aquarius] sexuality in Cannes, but they came from the press rather than audiences.
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.
I didn't want to overstate anything, but at the same time, the scene expands on some of the themes in the film [ "Aquarius"].
["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.
