Willy Wonka – chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time – is proof that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.
I watched Jacques Demy’s The Umbrellas of Cherbourg a lot. It’s got that melancholy but also a lot of joy. I wanted Wonka to have that bittersweet feeling.
