"I love Tati's freedom, his joy, the way he was always whistling as he walked through the streets," Italian-born Marras told The Associated Press in a backstage interview. "In his films, we get the idea that he's looking at everything through a child's eyes, and that's what interests me: I want to look at things with his sense of amazement and see the joy in things."
