![]() ![]() What's Coming to Disney Plus in January 2022Įverything Coming to Netflix in January 2022 We just keep on believing and we will until their very last film.”Ģ022 Oscars Predictions: The Collective - 'Belfast' and 'The Power of the Dog' Still Leading “What the Andreas and the Kate Winslets and the Tilda Swintons of the world provide us with is belief. So many people want to work with Andrea because she is a serious and incredibly dedicated actor, but she also gives her characters a tinge of worldliness that I just love,” says Kramer. “It’s a sort of a shocking thriller that feels very intimate and it’s just another opportunity for her to be as wild as possible. ![]() The two will soon reunite, currently developing a project which will see Riseborough play a Holocaust survivor in the 1970s in the American Midwest. My goal was to make everyone comfortable on set, so sometimes she was the one guiding me to push her.” “She is one of the most inspiring humans working in this field. And be James Dean for the audience.’ ”īut it was Riseborough, also credited as executive producer, who in a way became the film’s other director, writer and editor through her committed performance, says Kramer. Going into production we would tell people: ‘Be your own James Dean. Going into a movie like this, it was like: ‘Be a star! Be a sex symbol! Be an object!’ Be all the things that Hollywood used to put a lot of emphasis on. “She was incredibly hip to the fact that we were going for that Jane Russell, old-school glamour. But I do think that one amazing kiss is necessary.”Įncouraging her actors to be theatrical and take risks, as well as play with stereotypes, Kramer also wanted to bring back the allure of iconic screen legends, enlisting the help of Demi Moore. You look at this other person and even though you are bursting inside, you know that as soon as you have sex – or as soon as I show it on screen – it won’t be as hot. What I was thinking about was idealized love. “The thing is, I don’t have that much to say about sex. Harry understood that and every time he looked at him, I would get butterflies in my stomach. He has this immense beauty that leaves people agog. “Not to embarrass Karl, but that’s what it’s like for him in real life. What she was interested in, however, was sexual tension, exemplified by Melling’s character starry-eyed fascination with another man, played by Karl Glusman. “I went: How can I make my version of a fucked up, queer, upside down ‘West Side Story’?”ĭespite diving into erotically charged imagery, often bringing to mind Tom of Finland, Kramer wasn’t interested in making an explicit film. But there are artists out there who are blending the two, like Leos Carax in ‘Annette.’ This is what I ache to accomplish,” she says. Hollywood usually tells you that your film can either be realistic or it can be a fantasy, which could mean anything from a children’s film to Marvel. “Fantasy plays a huge part in this film and in all of my work. That is, until they start encountering people who have seen – and done – other, darker things, and who introduce them to gender and sexual fluidity. ![]() While her married protagonists are not exactly innocent, they still follow a relatively traditional way of life. Now, it’s their vision from the 1980s as seen through my vision in 2022.” “They brought it back into the foreground in a very perverse way. New York has always been debauched,” she says, mentioning the works of Julien Temple or John Waters, who also tried to re-imagine the era. What I am drawn to is the sleazier, more underground 1950s that I know existed. “When people talk about that time, they usually go for this cinched waist, poodle skirt, preppy aesthetic. In “Please Baby Please,” starring Andrea Riseborough and Harry Melling as a couple suddenly faced with their long-dormant fantasies, as well as a violent greaser gang, Kramer turns her attention to the 1950s. ![]()
