so beautiful, but it was challenging because we were shooting one full song, then changing costumes for the second, third, and fourth [takes]. The rain was really heavy, and Amanda was almost unable to dance as of the heavy coat I gave her. But she did it!
She’s so amazing in this.
And of course, the interiors were challenging too as everything was wet. But it was fun as well. I like this kind of challenge!
you previously worked on The Zone of Interest and Quo vadis, Aida?, which were both Oscar-nominated. Like Ann Lee, they are also unique past dramas with unexpected elements. How did those creative experiences shape your approach? How have you developed as an artist through these projects?
Thank you for this question. I have to say that The zone of Interest was an absolutely unique experience for me because of the method. We were shooting concurrently, sometimes with 10 cameras, and the set wasn’t exactly the same because we acted like the crew preparing everything. But when the actors entered the set, there were none of us. there were challenging moments for us, as well as with the subject matter and script. Working with Jonathan glazer, an amazing director, helped me understand the different processes involved in making films. It’s a totally unique experience that’s probably never going to happen [again] as you just need to immerse and switch your brain to a totally different way of working. It’s really helped me to be brave.
Quo Vadis, Aida?, the movie I did about the Srebrenica genocide, was also challenging. We were working with a not-so-big budget, but everyone was so involved because the subject was so important. In total, we had more than 4,000 extras. That helped me understand another process, another way of making films. Each director and each film was my teacher. Ann Lee was also different. For us, Mona was a mother because of how she created a special community. She had this dream, which was probably unfeasible to realize with such a big film in such difficult circumstances. I’m from Poland, she’s based in New York, and we had never heard of each other.It’s a miracle we found each other.
