Aquarius Quote by Sonia Braga
![“Sônia Braga reacted in a beautiful way to the draft I sent her, so we just made the film ["Aquarius"] as I had written it. Emilie [Lesclaux], my wife and producer, told me, "This is not a two-hour film. This is going to be longer." And I said, "Well, let's try and make it work, whatever length it…” quote by Sonia Braga](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c17/sonia-braga-12256_aquarius_s-nia-braga-reacted-in-a-beautiful-way-t_1611823.jpg)

![“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.

![“The reaction I got from Sônia [Braga] in less than 48 hours after I sent her the script [Aquarius] was so genuine that it left me stunned.

![“["Aquarius"] it had a bit of a rocky arrival in cinemas because we were given the 18+ rating, which did not make any sense in terms of the Brazilian rating system for a film like this.” quote by Sonia Braga](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0a2/sonia-braga-12256_aquarius_aquarius-it-had-a-bit-of-a-rocky-arrival_1480519.jpg)
![“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…” quote by Sonia Braga](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/68b/sonia-braga-12256_apartment_i-think-the-relationship-in-aquarius-wit_115615.jpg)
![“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. You watch it and go, "Oh my god, he had to cut that scene! I can't believe it."” quote by Sonia Braga](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/658/sonia-braga-12256_believe_it-s-so-sad-to-me-see-the-director-s-ver_284840.jpg)
![“Nobody who comes out of the movie [Aquarius] focuses on those [sexual] scenes, because they are not the heart of the film. They are a consequence of the story, but I don't remember hearing audiences talking about them afterward. They came out discussing themes of resistance, history and memory…” quote by Sonia Braga](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5b8/sonia-braga-12256_aquarius_nobody-who-comes-out-of-the-movie-aquari_500425.jpg)
![“I just hope the film [Aquarius] doesn't feel overly nostalgic because too much nostalgia for me leads to depression. I think Clara is very pragmatic.” quote by Sonia Braga](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8c4/sonia-braga-12256_aquarius_i-just-hope-the-film-aquarius-doesn-t-fe_967388.jpg)
![“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…” quote by Sonia Braga](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/74a/sonia-braga-12256_aquarius_when-you-actually-see-it-it-is-quite-str_1197258.jpg)
