    • Quotes
      [on Misericordia (2024)] The title came to me while I was writing this script. For me, mercy exceeds the question of forgiveness. It has to do with empathy, with understanding others beyond any morality. It's about reaching out to others. It's an old-fashioned word that we don't use much anymore, and it becomes the film well, its timelessness, and above one of the great characters in it, namely the priest.
