00:00Right now, in Madrid, there is a huge protest against high housing prices and housing speculation.
00:10Do you think this problem has eroded the neighborhood life of the big city that appears in your films?
00:20Do you think the authorities should take action against this kind of problem, speculation?
00:27Oh, you're asking me the wrong person.
00:33I have never been a political filmmaker, and I have no wisdom on social matters or political matters.
00:46I've always done relationships between people, existential things and romantic things.
00:55And whenever I'm asked questions about social matters or political matters, you know, I know only what I read in
01:04the newspapers and have no deeper insights or no closer insights into the truth of the matters than the average
01:16person.
01:16So I'm not the person to ask, you know, those questions of.
01:23I can't shed any light on it.
01:25It's not, it has never been a strong point with me or an interest.
01:30My work has always been nonpolitical and about human relations.
01:37So if you have a question about human relations, I can try and answer it.
01:42But other things, I'm just not up enough on it, not wise enough.
01:48I'm always concerned with any fascist rise.
01:53Always.
01:54I think it's terrible.
01:56I think it's, the world is in a very critical phase at the moment, and I'm always vehemently against the
02:07rise of fascism in any form, whether it's in government, of course, in theater, in censorship, in literature, in any
02:18way.
02:18I'm very concerned and very much against it.
02:22Thank you.
