“I want to give meaning to the history of the past, but to do it in real time, as if it were lived. This gives a special touch to my films, because you feel that I didn't have one single idea of the concrete meaning of what I wanted to say or what you have to feel or what you have to think. For me, this is the beauty, to see the past being born in front of you.” IfsThinkingWantGivingFeelsIdeasRealWantedPastFilmBornSpecialFrontsConcrete Author:Albert Serra
“I wanted to be a real writer, you can put it this way, but I was lazy. So I thought that cinema would be funnier because it's collective, and it's crazy, and it's chaotic, and also because I was based in Spain. So I said it will be easy to make a career of that - because all the other filmmakers there are very bad. And it will be funny at the same time. So this was the point. It will be funnier, easier, and maybe at the end there will be some unknown beauty, and maybe on the way we'll create the dream that a different logic is possible for life.” WaySaidDifferentRealEndsDreamWould BeWantedEasyCareersCrazyEasierLogicCinemaFilmmakerLazyCollectivesSpainChaotic Author:Albert Serra
