Art style

Oliazalo's film style has been described specifically in her film Fogo as "slow cinema". On the website theartsofslowcinema.com has quoted, Caitlin Meredith from, the voice behind Her Head In Films podcast, saying that, "Olaizola’s focus on the mundane also shows how these men are embedded in Fogo Island. We begin to understand why they cannot leave. They are so enmeshed in the environment–so attached to the land, the wind, and the water–that evacuating is, in some sense, death. It’s a death of the soul, of the spirit. By refusing to leave, they are resisting this death." While this website spoke specifically on this film, this "slow cinema" style spans all of the films she has made so far, since the beginning of her directorial debut.

Notable words

"I enjoy the cinema that does not rush to take you to one place."
