- [on writing Mo (2019)] Another thing that greatly influenced my film and the script-writing process was a statistic made at the European level which asked if rape can be justified in certain circumstances. If the victim drinks alcohol, if she goes to his apartment, if she doesn't say a decisive 'no.' Thirty percent of Europe said it was justified; in Romania, it was 55%. We are the top. This modified my script. In the beginning, everything was more aggressive. And then I went to that limit where the 55% thought it was justified. I would like, ideally, that those 55% will see all those circumstances and that they're opinion in the end will be that this is not justified, this is awful. [June 2019]
- [on shooting Mo (2019)] We rehearsed about a month with the actors. Only text. They knew exactly how the script would go, and all the subtext, but they didn't know the blocking. We could have done it in one take. It was also a production problem because we didn't have enough funds, so we finished in 13 days. [June 2019]
- [on Mo (2019)] When I finished the film, just when I finished the production, the whole #MeToo campaign started. And this confirmed for me that I made a good choice by making the film. [June 2019]
