This is a story of a couple, Julia and her husband.

It feels so gray and a lot of austerity, people not really friendly.
I think this is because they want you to experience the country the way that she's seeing it because she's a foreigner.
She doesn't speak the language.
I saw it completely the opposite.
Really? I had in my notes that...
You know, everyone's really quite friendly.
They're all trying to help her kind of give the dialogue.
The only thing I did find that obviously, I think you and I will kind of have interesting kind of our own life experiences with this where Julia is obviously a foreigner in a foreign land.
I really like the fact that they didn't, in the film, add what the characters were saying.

We don't know what they're saying.
We're kind of feeling what Julia's feeling.
We are really, they put you in Julia's position.
If you don't understand, you just don't understand.
Even some of the shots, for example, when she's in the movie theater and somebody is sitting behind her and she's looking at the feet, you just see the feet.
