The piano 1993 cast serial#

I knew from the start that I would have a film would follow a character, who's presented as the main character, and that it was impossible to like her, to morally relate to the person. That's one of the big, big challenges that I had when I was writing. How much do you want audiences to sympathize or identify with her as she's going through everything else in the film?

Regardless of everything else that happens to her, the character of Alexia is still a serial killer. For me, it's really about playing with all the tools and all the codes that are at my disposal, in the spectrum of human psyche and human emotions, and try to somehow bend them all together. So I consider definitely myself as a genre filmmaker, but I would like to say genres, plural. I really like to play with all those codes and to disrupt them, divert them and intertwine them. And also obviously, I like emotions coming at the end of my film - real emotion that you don't expect when you see the beginning of it. You can also have comedy emerging from a very horrific situation. Like all of a sudden you can have tension appearing from an apparently domestic situation or a strangeness appearing from the domestic situation and the reverse. I like to divert the codes of horror, to divert the expectations of the audience. Julia Ducournau: I use the grammar of body horror for sure. Do you consider yourself a genre filmmaker? IвЂ™m propelled into the future.'вЂќ GENRE EXPECTATIONSДЄlong with upscale festivals in Cannes, Toronto and New York, the film also is playing at audience-oriented genre festivals like Fantastic Fest and Beyond Fest. And I was like, 'OK, we're not alone in that. So I thought about the third one, the fourth one, the fifth one. But me being the second one, it was impossible to say it's an exception. we had to wait 28 years before the next one. вЂњ could have felt like she was an exception,вЂќ said Ducournau of the only previous female Palme dвЂ™Or winner, who won for 1993вЂ™s вЂњThe Piano.вЂќ вЂњAnd indeed unfortunately. 'When asked me how I felt, I said, вЂIt feels like history.вЂ™ And she laughed, with this very bright smile, and she said, вЂњHoney, this is history.вЂ™ It felt good that she said that because I had the feeling that I was propelled into the future somehow. that felt way beyond me,' Ducournau said. вЂњI remember there was something going through me.
