Just saw this film on Netflix, and decided to listen to this interview with the director again. It’s hard to believe that this very special film was made in just four weeks. In addition to the powerful emotional and cultural content, this is a very beautiful looking film. It is definitely worth watching. Thanks, Fausto and Marc, for putting a spotlight on a film I probably would not have known about otherwise.
Thanks for supporting the podcast! <3
