Speaking at an interview organised by the British Film Institute (BFI) in London on Wednesday (31.01.24), Yorgos said: "It's always not the most pleasant thing to just be boxed into one thing. I guess there is some kind of absurdity in the films, but I hope they're more complex than that. "I understand why people have the need to describe it a certain way...

Willem Dafoe believes each of his alpacas has a human-like “personality”. The ‘Poor Things’ actor, 68, has spent years sticking to a virtually vegetarian diet, but has revealed he has a farm at his home just outside Rome packed with animals as he loves their “company”. He told The Observer newspaper about how he has a vegetable garden and “lots of animals”: “I'm basically a vegetarian, so I do it just for the pleasure of their company and to try to give them a good life, which is a little naïve.” Willem also referred to his beasts as “other people” who live at his home in Italy.
