“What references did you use for his style?
Paolo Sorrentino: Robert Smith from The Cure. I saw him backstage at a concert in Rome, but I didn’t speak with him. He was not as I expected him. It’s a disconcerting dichotomy to see a guy of fifty years with the look of a sixteen year old, you don’t know what to focus on. Apparently Robert Smith keeps this look because his wife loves it, so he has that look all day, not only when he goes to a concert.”
