What is the relationship in the film between religious dogmatism and a suppression of desire?
We are cleverly diplomatic and we don’t stick by any of the character’s views, but this is Tania’s view of her brother. But it is there too with the mother. I guess it is a running theme and it is true. All the characters are doing the same thing – they are sublimating their problems and they are externalising them as something else. So is it a case of families: bad, individuals: good? Well family is pain and pleasure. I wouldn’t call it bad, it is more catastrophe and they also give you some of the best moments of your life. How do you work together as writers and directors? With screenwriting it is very common to be more than one, and it is not like writing a novel. It suits us to pitch an idea together; we do everything together. We come up with the idea and come up with the plot together, and then we split it in two and then someone drafts the first half and someone the second one, and then from some point we carry on working. When we have that first draft we go over it together. W
