'The Museum of Innocence' is not about politics; it's a love story, but I think it's political in the sense that it wants to capture how a man suppresses a woman.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Real politics is messy and morally ambiguous and doesn't make for a compelling thriller.
Innocence is one of the most exciting things in the world.
A lot of history is just dirty politics cleaned up for the consumption of children and other innocents.
Innocence is a pretty dangerous thing, you know. Revisit Dostoevsky's 'The Idiot' or, for that matter, Greene's 'The Quiet American' to find out how destructive it can be.
It's an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul.
Crime butchers innocence to secure a throne, and innocence struggles with all its might against the attempts of crime.
Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.
Museums are like the quiet car of the world. It's a place you can come to escape, where there's authenticity, there's uniqueness, there's calm, there's physicality.
It is a political thriller. It's very action packed and it's very exciting, but at the same time it's a very big soulful love story about longing and loss. They're not separate, they're completely dependent on one another.
Every film is a political act; it's how you see the world.
