Andrew Cousins: What can we expect to see you in next?
Roberton Benito: My new movie! Yes! Roberto, he is back! This time it’s personal!

AC: And what is it?
RB: Is about ninety minutes. Yes! Quite short.

AC: No, what’s it about?
RB: Ah! Excuse! Is a very powerful love story. There is man. There is woman. Man falls over. Woman falls in love. Man wears funny hat. Oh no! Is woman dying of disease? Yes. Then man fall over some more. She get better. They get married. The end.

AC: That’s unlikely to please the critics who’ve accused you in the past of making films that are a bit simplistic though, is it?

RB: Is not simplistic. Is very complicated. The camera has many moving parts. So very tiny. The lenses, the lights. Microphones. Is not as simple as people think.

AC: I actually meant that they thought the plots of the films were a bit simplistic….

RB: No! Is very complicated. So much falling over. So many hats. The woman – she wear so many dresses. Is very deep film. I base it on my own life. Am I simple?
