It's a very diverse and beautiful country.

So I feel, again, that we are finally getting back on track.

Well, I mean, it's a remarkably entertaining film.

It feels like watching a great 70s film with, like, such thoughtful pacing.

Yes.

But also a human story, that you're watching somebody, just a moral person trying to stay good.

Yeah.

I guess I'm curious, this plays in Brazil, and you've gotten feedback there.

And now, especially with the Golden Globe wins, like, what are you hoping an American audience who's seen this for the first time, living through the time that we are living in, what are you hoping that they resonate with, with a movie like this?

I did this film called Civil War a couple of years ago, which is a film about the aftermath of a polarized situation that could, in that case, lead to a civil war.

But polarization, I think it's the biggest thing that can lead to social conflicts nowadays.

And it's a big threat to democracy.

And I remember that back then I was saying that

Brazilians were really fasting because what happened in Brazil, like an election denier empowered their people to go to the institutions and break things down and invade the institutions.

It was exactly the same thing that happened here, happened in Brazil.

But Brazil was very fasting, finding who the financiers were and sending people to jail.

Bolsonaro lost his political...

and everything, he's now in jail.

And the reason why I think Brazil did that is precisely because we know what a dictatorship is.

We know how bad it is.
