Quotes About Dramaturgy

For me, the filmmaking has to be about the dramaturgy.

Nem eu, nem tu, nem ela, nem qualquer outra pessoa desta história poderia responder mais, tão certo é que o destino, como todos os dramaturgos, não anuncia as peripécias nem o desfecho. Eles chegam a seu tempo, até que o pano cai, apagam-se as luzes, e os espectadores vão dormir.

That's the main lesson I've learned from working in the theater: respect the dramaturgy. I don't want to overwhelm everything with music.
