“I think the film [Aquarius] comes from that original feeling I had 18 years ago, when I was in a São Paulo supermarket. I was in line to pay for something, and when I looked up, I saw the little windows of a projection booth. That's when I realized the supermarket used to be a movie theater. They didn't even bother to change the walls. Years ago, "The Sound of Music" could've been playing in that space.” ThinkingYearsLittlesFeelingsFilmUsedSoundLinesSpacePaySawsWallYears AgoWindowTheaterOriginalsI RealizedUsed To BeBotherProjectionSupermarketsMovie TheaterSound Of MusicAquarius Author:Sonia Braga
“I think the relationship [in Aquarius] with her nephew shows that she's not nostalgic. She just wants to preserve what is important to her - her records, her books, even some furniture. She doesn't want to leave that house because it is her home. That is where her kids were born. After moving so much in my life, I was touched by Clara's need to stay in that apartment. I love her life, and that may be why I connected to her so strongly. We are the most alike when we are fighting for our rights.” ThinkingWantNeedsMayImportantBookShowsHomeKidsMovingFightingHouseBornRecordsRightsConnectedPreservesTouchedApartmentFurnitureNostalgicNephewAquariusClara Author:Sonia Braga
