I just did a dramatic love story. Whether it's a cultural phenomenon is not for me to say.
I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
The father figure is something I love, but also suffocate from and want to work against.
You can never categorize or stereotype a region or a place. People fall in love, period. This is a universal story ... I just wanted to make a love story.
Don't watch the film with 'colored glasses' and it's a very touching love story.
