A vigorous conversation ensued on the mountaintop about politics and movies.
Of course, Triets movie surely will garner nominations in other categories.

This time, Triet wanted Huller as her star.
I was obsessed with Sandra, Triet told me.
So after I started this one, Sandra was on my mind … but I was afraid of her.

To me, it was ready.
And going with this consideration that we never really know our parents, she added.
The filmmaker was very curious about the courtroom movie genre.
I think there are so many traps when you do a movie like this.
Huller nodded in agreement.
And some of us are really bored by that, she noted.
People look at her in court and think it cant be that good and it cant be that easy.
And she cant also be in grief when shes like that.
People have to be one thing or the other.
And they cant be everything.
But people are everything.
People have all the feelings, and they have contradictory feelings things that dont fit together.
And the only thing she does, opening up in front of everybody … she just doesnt hide anything.
Except for one little detail, Huller added with a wink.
… And that makes her an unusual woman.
In some moments, you wish to be like her.
Thats really something that we shouldnt do, especially as women.
We shouldnt judge each other others behavior towards children.
But Triet insisted that its not easy to create grown-up movies.
Because we have to live with our ghosts, you know?
We have to live with our creation, so its not easy sometimes.
