This movie made me want to be an actress. Or maybe it made me want to make movies. It made me understand movies as something that could be simultaneously joyful and heartbroken, and that those things didn’t have to cancel each other out.

And then, of course, there’s Fassbinder, who’s my favorite European director from the 70s. I think he took melodrama further than anyone, and he did it in a very specific way, very German, very cold. I love 'Ali: Fear Eats the Soul'.

Roma Atlas note
I revisited a lot of Mexican films, particularly from the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema, like Buñuel’s Los Olvidados to kind of remember the texture and the sounds of Mexico City.
