“My films developed into something more dark and somber in the last years. I don’t know why. I guess I’m growing, aging. It’s life. But this film has a tone that was very familiar to me in the 1980s. And when I was writing it, I almost forgot that I’m an older man. It was a good feeling, feeling younger. But it’s not the same as it was, because I’m not the same, and the world’s not the same.”
