[on producing Roman Polanski's The Palace (2023)] Roman has a huge sense of humor. After L'ufficiale e la spia (2019), we thought it should be something lighter, which was clever at the same time, a sort of black comedy about human beings. He nailed it I think, with his old friend Jerzy [Jerzy Skolimowski], and his wife [Ewa Piaskowska]. It was so much fun watching them work together. They have been friends forever, 70, 80 years, since they were kids. It's an amazing chance to put them together.
