Sonia Braga Thinking Quotations

I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.

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.

I think anybody who was ever saddened by a movie theater closing would be able to understand this film [Aquarius].

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.
