Quote
1
Right now, Italian society is expressing a sort of familiarity with reality and that is also reflected in films. I share Brecht's opinion that that artists should always be one step ahead of the public. Unfortunately, in Italy we try to fulfill the public's needs.

If you look at the Earth from space, you see a slice of desert that divides the First from the Third World. I am incredibly drawn to what lies beneath that, where contrasts are stronger but more sincere. I like creating protagonists out of people who are anything but: regaling two little boys shots worthy of a John Wayne epic.

Fear is not just linked to darkness. When you are nine years old, a cornfield reaches your chest and underneath anything could be lurking: animals, dry grass that cuts into your legs, holes... I believe that brilliant sunshine can also conceal terrible things.
