This is a movie about ways in which people are connected.

I had the luck to watch the Italian premiere of Passages in Milan with the director Ira Sachs. I loved his comments about the movie.

He gives a lot of autonomy and trust to the actors. He values freedom. The characters are three separetes individuals, he highlight the cruciality of the interpretations of the actors and what happens naturally on the set. The script are the only rules they should follow and that it is essential to listen to be a good actor. He chose these protagonists because he found them breathtaking and scenes' stelears in small roles. He thinks their interpretation is so crucial that other actors would have made a completely different movie. I think it is clear how the caracter are perfectly portrayed by the actors. I loved the performances of the three protagonists and how the characters felt real in a way.

Ira tells that every movie is a bit a documentary because talks about human and human life. Paradoxically, this remains a movie: it is not too realistic, as it can be seen from adele's fashion.

It is nice to be transported through the life of these three imperfects humans and how they navigate love and attraction.
