I personally believe that cinema should never give out good life lessons or answer the perpetual questions of life itself. We can attempt to answer them, but what do we get after we think we've found the answers? There is no beauty in the answers. You get it, and that's it. Much more than the ever-absolute life lessons, like a fairy tale with a happy ending, then dishing out the moral of the story for kids to emulate in the future and eventually fucking them up when they grow up. There is no moral of the story. You can interpret the shit out of what you just saw, and we don't pressure you to emulate the moral we instilled inside the narrative of the film. No. Cinema should be all about questions. We need to ask more. Questions should pop into your head as you watch films. That, I believe, is my personal quest. My cinema will be the cinema of questions. You seek for answers. We provide you the questions: the all-important questions we are afraid to ask, we forget to ask.
That is what Mathilda will be. There will be more questions than there will be answers.
