In my films I tried to keep my theatrical style, any access to the public through the
ironic and surrea atmosphere l so do not fall into the direct, which I think that the spectator knew years ago, a method of exercise, such as football, with oversight by the understanding of the attitudes in the movies direct traditional, and this does not mean I escape from reality '.
