Insightful interview about a great movie (you should see).

A lot of my work is trying to make a light film out of deeper subjects instead of the other way around: keeping a light touch and a certain integrity so the film has some authority, that you trust it’s a world you want to enter and these are people you want to be with, as if you were almost reading a book. When you’re used to working on a small budget — and for me, this budget wasn’t even that small — you have to make fast decisions and get the most out of what you have. If it had been an American studio film, it might have looked differently.
