It's so visceral. I've been very interested by the border between the United States and Mexico. I thought it was very meaningful... about our reality, it was very... I was looking for, I was reading about it, I was looking for a project that will be, for a story, something that will allow me to explore that zone.

And came into my hands at one point, I read a lot, but one project came called Sicario, written by Taylor Sheridan. Yeah, the great Taylor Sheridan. Taylor Sheridan is well known now for all the work he's done, but at that time it was one of his first screenplays. And still today, it is by far, by far one of the best screenplays I ever read. Wow. The amount of research...

that Taylor had done to bring that world to life. The best compliment I have about Sicario is when I meet border officers or policemen or DEA officers or people who work at the border who saw Sicario and said, that's the real deal. And honestly, it is because of the work that Taylor had done. He had done his homeworks. And when you were reading the screenplay, you knew you

in front of something that felt authentic. Very, very strong screenplay. I remember reading it, and I was like, the screenplay was so intense. I finished the screenplay, I was drained of energy. I was like, oh, my God. I love it. I'm so sad that I love this so much. I would have to go in the dark, and I was just out of three very dark movies in a row, and I said, to go back there.

But it was exact. And it's by far the movie that was the fastest process. I read the screenplay, met the studio. We got along spontaneously and we did the casting. It went bang. I was behind the camera with Roger Dickens. It was like one of the fastest projects I ever made. And still to this day, it's a very nice shoot because there was like just a nice balance between the budget and the subject.

And it went quite, it was a nice shoot.

I mean, like that border shoot, that slow motion truck car chase at the border. Great ideas. Great. Taylor is amazing to write cinema. Very cinematic ideas. Great dialogues, great characters, but very strong sense of cinema. I'm still grateful that I had the chance to bring that on screen.
