Director Daniel Esposito on 'Madame Luna' and Unspoken Social Issues | Taormina Film Festival
Swedish-Chilean filmmaker Daniel Espinosa feels reborn after returning to Europe to make his latest feature Madame Luna, as well as the upcoming Netflix crime drama The Helicopter Heist.
The director of Easy Money, Life, Safe House and Morbius tells Deadline: “I spent 12 years in America… and it slowly became clear to me that what I was doing was slowly taking me away from the reason I started making films in the first place. So I really felt a need to somehow get back to the reason I make films in the first place.”
After spending a year in prison as a teenager for minor offenses, Espinosa was sent to boarding school. There he met the son of filmmaker Lasse Hallstrom, which “opened my idea of making films. The idea was to make films about the reality that I knew, that most people didn’t know — that’s Easy Money.”
