Trivia

  • I never stop working on a film. I can`t help myself.
    (imdb.com)
  • Harvey Weinstein liked "City of God" from the beginning. He didn`t want to change anything. When the film`s release was done, he called me to say, "This film deserves more than it got, and we`re going to spend money and do a campaign, and we`re gonna get nominations." From the business side, it was a bad experience, but I would do it again. I don`t think I signed a good contract. I didn`t really believe in the film. It was a low-budget Brazilian film in Portuguese -- what can a film like this do? Harvey liked the film more than I did. They paid exactly what was on the contract.

  • I`m going to do some big film at some point but not now. My ideal career would be to do what Pedro Almodovar does (in Spain). I`d like to make Brazilian films for international audiences that are not big-budget. This would be the best.
    (imdb.com)
  • I`ve always been very independent, I`ve always produced my own things; I don`t know how to share. A big studio invests a lot of money, and they want control. I`m not prepared for that yet.
    (imdb.com)
  • When you do a film, everything is related to point-of-view, to vision. When you have two characters in a dialog, emotion is expressed by the way people look at each other, through the eyes. Especially in the cut, the edit. You usually cut when someone looks over. Film is all about point-of-view...
    (imdb.com)
  • This is the part that I like most, in the process, is to edit and try to find the story. Sometimes you think you have a film, and then you change something and it becomes different. It`s a wonderful job. Because it surprises you.
    (imdb.com)
  • If you do a film with a high budget, people want to control it. Marketing people tell you what to do, and where to cut, so they can get their money back. I am more interested in doing smaller films that I can control.
    (imdb.com)
    Trivia
  • Founded the studio Olhar Eletrônico with a group of friends in the 80s.
    (imdb.com)
  • Member of the Juri of the 29th São Paulo International Film Festival, held in São Paulo, Brazil, from October 21st to November 3rd 2005.
