I’m tired of cold heart cinema. I want to make a passionate film mined with life and death impulses. I want to show courage, passionate lovers’ dialogues. It’s a film of the night, written under the influence of the moon. It is not a dark movie, it is lunar. It’s a police investigation and a love story - in which the moon is also one of the characters: they are all affected by it. I would like to work with the actors in a way where they can truly feel that influence. I am developing a hypnosis-lead acting method. It is absolutely experimental. We are working with a psychiatrist, who is teaching me persuasion methods. I want to recycle the commonplace and the cliché. To develop a story presenting a logic of its own: a new South American mythology.
Rats, lions, medieval swords, disappearances, sex, love, intensity. The passion and intensity of Hell and Heaven, on Earth. I want to show a new world, a new form of love never seen before. Kissing before the end of the world. I want to show how old rites are alive and influencing social behaviors, how a brand new world can be inhabited inside the one we already know. How light and darkness coexist and are one and the same. How revolt can be a part of the daily life. How the moon unleashes the heart of men.
This is a revolutionary film. The revolt that lays hidden in the depths of the human heart and is willing to be freed every night or morning.
Does anyone want to change the state of things or do we just want to fuck and have fun? It is hard to say. Even for the characters in the film.
This film is a bet to chaos, to the collapse of narrative. It can be shot in a thousand different ways. It is a free film. It was liberated from the jail of the good cinema standards. We can shoot it in 35mm, we can shoot in HD, we can do it in mini dv. Fast paced, slow paced. I love unexplored roads. I will explore every way, every door that the characters will open for me. Let’s have fun doing it and something bright, and new, and pure will be born.
The day when we all, men, animals, ghosts, will walk and crawl naked towards the sea will finally come. And yet, that will be a day of victory.
