[press conference for Little Joe: A Flor da Felicidade (2019) at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival] The film is a sort of genre film but it is also not at all! I think the idea was to have a happy end and not like in some of the horror films, for example Body Snatchers [Vampiros de Almas (1956)], in the end the whole world is infected and it's very bad, dark and depressing. And I think what I wanted to do is a sort of, "Let's live with the zombies, we'll be fine!"
