“If you take away money, if you take away the houses and things, who are we really? What is love really about? What is it to love each other? Why do we stay together, and why do all the kids split? All these questions I have really deep inside of me.” IfsKidsTogetherHouseSplitsLove Each OtherDeep InsideWhat Is LoveReally Deep Author:Sonia Braga
“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.” IfsHumansMomentsProblemFilmStrongHuman BeingsWatchesSawsImpactSexualityConclusionConfusingAquarius Author:Sonia Braga
“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.” IfsHas BeensLastsFilmNightScriptsDetailsReactionsLast NightBullsAquarius Author:Sonia Braga
“When I saw that scene [in ocean from the Aquarius] for the first time, it blew me away. It caused me to reflect on my age, my history and all that I've been through in Brazil. Having been away from Brazil for so long, while not speaking in my own tongue, when I saw that image, I felt like I was taking my first deep breath after nearly suffocating to death. It was like the plastic had been removed from my head. Even if this breath turned out to be my last, at least I got to have this one moment of release. At least I got this one chance.” IfsFirstsLongMomentsAgeLastsFeltChanceMy OwnSawsSceneOceanFirst TimeBreathsTongueReleasePlasticBrazilDeep BreathOne ChanceSuffocatingAquarius Author:Sonia Braga
“To be naked or even making love in a scene to me is very important if this is a movie about a couple or sensuality. It's a sort of moralism to think that this shouldn't be seen in the film.” IfsThinkingImportantFilmCoupleSceneNakedSensualityMaking LoveMoralism Author:Sonia Braga
