Cate Blanchett said, “I have hope, the journey goes on. There are only small islands of certainty like this one, and I thank San Sebastian for it” in her acceptance speech at the San Sebastian International Film Festival. She also quoted Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector, saying, “There are certain advantages in not knowing. Like a virgin territory, the mind is free from misconceptions. Everything I do not know forms the greater part of me: This is my largesse. And with this, I understand everything”.
