I've been criticized, in the history books and throughout the motion picture industry, for "butchering", as they call it, a beautiful film (
Lisa e o Diabo (1973)). Well, I never thought I butchered it. I thought we should have been complimented... not because I did it, but because it was a good piece of work. However, I understand where the critics are coming from. They're speaking of art and culture, and there was no art or culture in
Lisa e o Diabo (1975). True, true. It was done for commercial purposes... but I think it was done well.
