You have Portuguese heavy metal, The Exploited, all the music in the beginning… the film has the space for all of this. In that segment, we had to deal with something that was problematic, because that building is actually the building where that couple committed suicide.

In that moment I understood we had to shoot there. How long did you spend with the birders?

Were they fine with you shooting them? In that case we started to shoot in October and finished by May. The last thing we shot was the competition. So it was a long process.

If the police found out, the bird-trappers would pay fines and the police would take the birds away. In the beginning they were a bit suspicious, but then a little by little I had the feeling I was inside of a secret society, with its own language, its own rules. For me it was very surrealistic, these men born in the slums, some of them ex-convicts, caring for these birds. I was impressed with this opposition between the way they looked—their tattoos, clothing—and their delicacy and gentle, tender way of listening to birds.

When there are no birds around, they yell at each other.

The first section seems to me the most explicitly political, heavily so—especially the beginning and the ending. The second one is more hermetic. Is there a political agenda to the film? The film is not neutral, and I hate the guys in the government.

The second volume, The Desolate One , which is more about the law, is more abstract. And then you have the only happy character, Dixie. And the third, The Enchanted One , I think is also pretty political. Now these guys are taking care of birds, they want to take them to a contest and to have their bird sing more than the other.

They have incredible stories.

And the text enters and tells stories about them. I planned to shoot in the Azores, but I never found a story to shoot there. I was on vacation there two years ago and they do lots of whale-watching on boats, and I had this will to shoot some characters watching whales, then diving with them, and the whale would transport them to the bottom of the sea.

This idea of filming a whale was to film something I never filmed before. But the whale section prepares you for the second volume, the feeling that something desperate will appear. Is it the finches? I like that everything keeps changing and transferring. After five minutes you know that the rest of the film will stay the same; it bores me to death.

What I liked most to shoot was the competition of the birds, and the guys chasing the birds in the woods. I wanted this film to screen in Competition. Un Certain Regard was created to compete against the Quinzaine. And because we were always interested in showing the film like Scheherazade tells stories, with interruptions, not six hours in a row.

From what I heard from the sales agent, they wanted to show it in one day. The Quinzaine is playing a different game, and they could afford the freedom to have this soap opera unfold throughout the festival. He responded to three orders in a very incredible way: But with this you could do almost everything.

It depends on the genre of the film. We did the special effects with a double exposure—though not in camera. So we shot the sequence twice, trying to guess where Dixie was in the frame. The effects also reminded me of Apichatpong, because of their primitive nature. You also use a superimposition in that scene of Novos Baianos, who just kind of appear over a scene set outside of Baghdad in the third chapter…What the hell is going on there? Those guys are geniuses. They made a prompt exit, while Perez scrambled to get his gear on to enter the game.
