“Real life doesn’t always live up to the dreams in the movies, but that, in a way, is a great subject for a movie. And that’s kind of what drove me with this: making a movie that was definitely informed by these idealized visions that you get from the old Hollywood musicals, but one in which hopefully you have to question a little bit whether real life lives up and what the give and take has to be.

These are characters who — and every character in the movie to a certain extent — has to negotiate the balance between dreams and reality, as we all do. To me, it’s trying to say something about that. I find movies where the lovers wind up not together more romantic. When they wind up together, it’s like you don’t know what’s going to happen after the movie … but these two will always be a perfect pair for me.“
