'what dreams may come'

“Over the next few hours you will ingest fat, salt, sugar, protein, bacteria, fungi, various plants and animals, and, at times, entire ecosystems. But I have to beg of you one thing. It’s just one. Do not eat. Taste. Savor. Relish. Consider every morsel that you place inside your mouth. Be mindful. But do not eat. Our menu is too precious for that. And look around you. Here we are on this island. Accept. Accept all of it. And forgive. And on that note… food!”

The costumes for the film are definitely fantasy. There’s no historical accuracy to them, really […] Because there are so many films and TV shows such as ‘Game of Thrones’ that were done so beautifully, I very consciously from the beginning thought of going the opposite way.

I did not want to use any fur or any leather because I felt that would be just terrible [because director David Lowery is a lifelong vegan.] So most of the costumes are completely vegan. We used pineapple leather and we used bark cloth from trees that resembles leather. We just stayed away from anything else. I’ve never used those materials before and I wouldn’t have searched for them if it weren’t for David being a vegan and me trying to find a way around it. That was a good challenge that made me re-imagine the clothes and not, you know, try to outdo 'Game of Thrones,’ which was perfect.

"This is the true story of a friendship that goes beyond blood ties. It is my story and that of the only three friends who really mattered in my life. Two of them were killers who did not turn thirty, the third is a lawyer who does not practice and lives with the pain of his past, too scared to forget it and without the courage to face it. I am the only one who can talk about them and our youth".
