"I’m not saying that everyone needs to be celibate, but you don’t need a romance to complete a story about a woman"
Greta Gerwig about her character’s development in Frances Ha. (via filthylymphoma)
“I think I am really pretty strong in making movies that are about decisions that are made by women. Even with Marzia and Elio. Love is cruel, lovers are cruel and it happened that he had an emotion for Oliver that makes him be cruel to Marzia, but how strong is it that she is the one who tells him we have to be friends forever?”
— Luca Guadagnino
