Cinema Atlas Connection
I’m very proud of ‘Vortex,’ and I think it’s the best movie I’ve ever done. It’s very different from the other ones. It’s much more realistic, with less music, less camera tricks, and it’s very tender. It’s also probably influenced by Michael Haneke's ‘Amour,’ because it's a film about the ending of a love story when you get really old.
