 I love that there’s an actual response to it, it’s not like people walk out and go, “eh, it was all right, I guess.” There’s no boredom, there’s no middle ground, there’s no nothing, people either love it or they hate it. Everybody’s experience watching this movie is different because they bring a lot to it. These are a lot of personal issues that affect a lot of people. Q: How your experience been with the press reaction? Just listening to people has been great, what affected them and stuff…one of the first junkets we did, a press conference at Tribeca, there was this one guy who said, “Well, you know, the first [rape] was really easy, she kind of seemed like she was into it,” and he instead went on about how the end of the film was much more rough and brutal…he was really kind of pointing the finger at us women, and I was like, “I’m sorry did you say she was into the first rape? Is that what you just told me? ‘Cause that’s horrifying.” Some parts of me just wanted to lash out, and be like, well what did you do to some woman in college that you justified and that’s how you’re going to look at it now, that she was fine? What? But I said, “Well, I wouldn’t say she was into it as much as I think she gave in, but that’s an interesting point that you would see it that way.” Because it is really interesting. Q: It’s also incredibly brave that, in the quick-cut MTV generation that we’re still in, that you really sit with these characters through long cuts, a lot of these things happen in real time. You force the audience to endure what you’re enduring, throughout the whole movie. That was a gimmick in Irreversible [another movie featuring a rape], like, okay, now we’re going to sit through this – but that wasn’t used the whole rest of the movie, so it didn’t fit, it was so clearly manipulative. And our film you definitely sit through everything…there are times when you’re sitting through it and you don’t get it, like, okay, this is a really great song, so I’m going to keep listening, and the tracking shot is really dope, so I’m following, but it’s a little like, what am I supposed to be watching here - but then you get a payoff. And then there are these other scenes like the end of the movie, where it just goes on and on and on, and you’re completely riveted, because it’s so intense, and [since] we’ve been doing long takes the entire movie, the audience accepts it. It’s horrifying, that a victim really can stoop lower than her attacker. It’s really horrifying. But things are really like that, and that’s why we had ... |
