![“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.

![“It's so sad to me [see the director's versions of films] because it shows how the filmmaker never got to make the film he had originally envisioned.

![“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.
