00:00I was with my mom and we were meeting Barack Obama, and it was a huge deal.
00:05He was talking to her and she goes,
00:06Oh, Mr. President, this is my daughter.
00:08She's just did a movie.
00:10She's an actress too.
00:11She was in the social network.
00:12She's in her underwear.
00:13And I died.
00:14I died inside.
00:16Hi, I'm Dakota Johnson.
00:18And I'm gonna be watching some scenes from throughout my career.
00:22It seems.
00:23And I'm sweating.
00:24So let's go.
00:30Okay.
00:43You don't know my name, do you?
00:45Is it Stanford?
00:47I should just kick your ass.
00:49How do you go to a party and you meet someone?
00:51I'm Amelia Ritter.
00:52But you prefer Amy.
00:53You're from Orinda.
00:54Your father's in commercial real estate and your mother's 10 years sober.
00:58I think that because this was the social network and David Fincher,
01:04we did this so many times that I'm like, I'm in it.
01:06I know it.
01:07I know all the lines.
01:08It's still there.
01:09We did it so many times that I feel like I remember this and it's happening now.
01:15Maybe I was traumatized.
01:17Next.
01:21And there I am speaking French.
01:23You're made just French.
01:25Mine?
01:26I don't have one.
01:29I don't go to school.
01:30You're kidding.
01:32No.
01:33Well, where did you go to school?
01:35William Taft Elementary for a little while.
01:38Seriously?
01:39You're not like 15 years old or anything, are you?
01:42No.
01:47Are you kidding?
01:50I was just like 19 and straddling Justin Timberlake and like whipping him in the face
01:55with my hair.
01:55100% had preconceived notions, but he was lovely and kind and really, you know,
02:01welcoming for a person that was just a stranger.
02:05I was not allowed to keep them, unfortunately.
02:08They're good, good, good little booty short.
02:11One time I was with my mom and we were meeting Barack Obama and it was a huge deal.
02:17He was talking to her and she goes, oh, Mr. President, this is my daughter.
02:21She's just did a movie.
02:22She's an actress too.
02:23She was in the social network.
02:24She's in her underwear.
02:25And I died.
02:26I died inside.
02:34When you dance the dance of another, you make yourself in the image of its creator.
02:38Tilda.
02:40I just texted with Tilda just now.
02:43You're in a company now.
02:44You have to find your right place.
02:45You have to decide.
02:47What is it you want to be for this company?
02:49God, I loved making this movie so much.
02:52I really miss it.
02:53We were filming on the top of a mountain in the north of Italy in a town called Verizon
02:59and in this abandoned hotel.
03:02And it was like a cast of 40 women.
03:04And it was just amazing and so strange and weird.
03:10And the hotel that we were filming and had all of these electrical towers because it
03:14was like the hub for the electricity of the town.
03:18It's like where everyone got their cell service.
03:20And it made everyone act really strange.
03:23And everyone was shocking each other all the time.
03:25And you'd have to constantly wash your hands to get the electricity out of your body.
03:29It was a beautiful building.
03:30And you do what you got to do to make a beautiful movie.
03:34Higher.
03:35Higher.
03:37Higher.
03:38Higher.
03:40Higher.
03:42Higher.
03:43We did like months of training for Suspiria for all of the dancing.
03:50I did all of my own dancing apart from like a couple of things.
03:54And there was two things that I couldn't do, which was like a quadruple pirouette.
03:59Obviously, who can?
04:00These jumps we actually used.
04:03I'm pretty sure Luca used visual effects to make them look crazy because I can't do that.
04:09Also, the floor of the dance studio where we rehearsed was mapped out sort of like a
04:19pentagram.
04:20And where the dancers were moving at certain times, it was like a spell.
04:24There's a lot of layers to this movie.
04:29But the dancing was incredibly specific.
04:33Higher.
04:34Higher.
04:35Higher.
04:37Higher.
04:38Higher.
04:40Higher.
04:43I think we finished the movie right before Christmas.
04:48We were in such a world of our own.
04:51And it was so weird.
04:52And there was like so many weird objects on set.
04:56And I started having really crazy nightmares.
05:00Not nightmares, but just scary dreams that I was accepting because it's kind of a scary movie.
05:06So when I got home, I had to do a lot of like...
05:10I mean, it sounds really woo-woo, but I had to do a lot of like cleansing and
05:15saging and kind of like releasing any energies that had sort of latched on to me.
05:22I'm that person.
05:30I've been following you for like 10 minutes.
05:32Yeah, you should.
05:32Is everything okay?
05:34Oh, I love her so much.
05:37Your number came up on my phone yesterday.
05:43You called me?
05:45I did.
05:46I mean, Olivia is the best person on the planet.
05:49And the best actress.
05:51And working with her, every single take was delicious and vibrant and so alive.
05:58And she's like a really electric artist.
06:01Nina has a really special part of my heart and my mind.
06:10She's kind of this like hardened, young, broken woman.
06:15And it's heartbreaking, but you feel like she's going to be okay.
06:19Like she'd kill somebody if she had to, but she was fine.
06:24I know you saw me with Will.
06:32I don't want you to think badly of me.
06:34I don't think badly of anyone.
06:37Yeah.
06:39Yeah, see, I knew that.
06:40As soon as I saw you, I just, I was like, I want to be like that lady.
06:46This was an interesting dynamic, just trying to figure out how
06:51these two women could see themselves in each other.
06:54This like the struggle of being a mother and being an individual and
06:58being a woman and having dreams and having a life of your own.
07:03And then feeling like it's being sucked out of you and still trying to maintain
07:11a glimmer of composure and grace and also, you know, immense love for your own child.
07:18So, you know, it's kind of a dynamic between two
07:24mothers with incredibly complex relationships with their, with being mothers.
07:34It won't stay on.
07:35Oh, hey.
07:38Can I?
07:40My grandma used to use hat pins.
07:41It won't fall off now.
07:43I have taken things from all directors that I've worked with and not taken things and
07:48learned what I like and what I don't like.
07:50But Maggie made me feel, in terms of directing my own stuff, like it's okay to want to do that.
07:58Because maybe there's a part of me that's like, well, I can't do that because I'm an actress.
08:03But I can, and I would love to.
08:05Her bravery and her sort of just like, fuck it, I'm gonna,
08:09I'm gonna make this exactly what it is in my mind.
08:11And the confidence in that is so inspiring.
08:20I love Saltwater Brownneck.
08:25And she is my hero.
08:26And she is totally a, she is totally a badass.
08:30God, this is gonna make me cry.
08:32I, I'm, oh my god.
08:34And you will be the next badass.
08:41Zach, both you and Rosemary have lost your privileges for the week.
08:46Oh, I don't care.
08:50I want to talk to him right now.
08:51I'm gonna call him right when I leave here.
08:53I fell so madly in love with him and everyone on this set.
08:58I don't even remember seeing this movie.
09:01I think I saw it maybe once.
09:03But Zach totally changed my life.
09:07And I love him so, so much.
09:10We FaceTime all the time.
09:12I see him if he comes to LA, we see him.
09:15We're trying to develop a show for him because I just think he's
09:20a star and he is obsessed with acting.
09:23He loves it more than anything.
09:26And Bruce Dern is Bruce Dern.
09:28That's Bruce Dern.
09:29He was telling me how to do the scene, which I was like, I'm good, thanks.
09:34But, but it was, it was a trip.
09:38Is this what you gave to Rosemary to convince her to pretend to be choking?
09:42Yes, it is.
09:44It's really creative.
09:47Not just creative, it's genius.
09:50You know why?
09:50That's an advertisement for what he wants to do with the rest of his life.
09:55I just, I'm like, let's watch this.
09:56Let's all just come on and let's watch this movie.
09:59I was in a place in my life where I was resistant to working at all at that time.
10:04And it kind of saved me.
10:06I was, and I was in like a weird place.
10:08And I personally, and I, I didn't know what I wanted to do.
10:12And this group of dudes, like Zach and Shia and Mike and Tyler, the directors,
10:19they were like, just come with us.
10:21Just come to Savannah.
10:22And I was like, fuck it.
10:23And I did.
10:24And Zach and Shia and I spent like every moment of every day together and had the best time.
10:33And it just like exploded my heart.
10:36I've found sometimes when I'm resistant to doing something
10:40is when I should probably do it, especially when it comes to a job.
10:50Do you know what you look like right now?
10:53No.
10:55You look like the sweetest person ever.
10:58So Cooper wrote that about himself.
11:00Okay.
11:01He wrote this script.
11:03Just saying.
11:04Keep going.
11:05Have you ever been depressed?
11:06Whoa.
11:08Downer alert.
11:09You don't have to sound the downer alert.
11:13I'm just curious.
11:14I've always been depressed.
11:16Whoa.
11:17Downer alert.
11:21Before Lola was born.
11:23Especially before Lola was born.
11:25We talk about depression in a way that I think is very succinct.
11:29And I liked that a lot about this scene.
11:33He came to us saying that he wanted to meet with me and he met with Ro.
11:41I was filming The Lost Daughter at the time.
11:44And she was like, you got to watch this movie.
11:46And I met with this director.
11:48And he has an idea of a script called Cha Cha Real Smooth.
11:51And I was like, that's the best title I've ever heard in my life.
11:54So let's do it.
11:56And she was like, well, let's watch the movie first and meet him first.
11:58And I was like, right, right.
12:00That's very me.
12:01He's just super smart and talented and had a really great idea of a project.
12:11Yeah, it's super blue.
12:13How did that happen?
12:14Just normal.
12:16You want to know something?
12:19Yes.
12:20I'm having more fun now than I did the whole night.
12:24Did you have a bad night?
12:27No, it wasn't bad.
12:31Yeah, it was bad.
12:32Because we worked on it a lot together, especially our dialogue together,
12:37we would rewrite it together in the mornings and make sure that it sounded the way it did
12:43and felt really natural and in the sort of cadence of the movie.
12:47It was scripted to sound unscripted.
12:49It was very like a sibling dynamic.
12:53So there was a little bit of like, we can't do it that way.
12:57Or like, that's not actually safe or legal or things like that.
13:01But beyond that, it was just fun.
13:12Oh my God, no.
13:15I want to die right now.
13:17I want to disappear.
13:18I do want to take these though, because they look cool and make me feel cool.
13:22Well, I would also take these.
13:24These are great.
13:25So I'm just gonna take these and go.
13:28Turn it off.
13:29Get it out of here.
