🔗 Kristen Stewart pour "The Chronology of Water" : "Je veux faire des films qui me poussent à tout remettre en question" : https://www.marieclaire.fr/kristen-stewart-je-veux-faire-des-films-qui-me-poussent-a-tout-remettre-en-question,1499829.asp
00:00Thinking about the fact that as we speak, people are watching it in a big theatre, like over a thousand people.
00:05And somebody was like, are you nervous? And I was like, no way.
00:08It feels so good. It's like a bloodletting.
00:11Yeah, it was hard. Everyone saw that.
00:15It was hard because it's like essentially pretty alienating material.
00:19It's about things that are sad and kind of dark.
00:22Also, I think, you know, I'm from the States where movies are, there's a more formulaic approach.
00:28And they don't feel like dreams. And if they do, then people are like, what's going on?
00:32I don't know how to feel. Why don't you tell me how to feel?
00:35I'm like, why don't you bring yourself to this?
00:38And it does just have a bit more of a European sensibility in that way, specifically a French sensibility in that way.
00:44I don't want to make entertaining movies that are easy to describe.
00:49I want to make movies that make me question everything.
00:53And so, yes, it took me a long time to convince people that I should be allowed to do that.
00:57A lot of stomping my feet.
00:59I want it to write.
01:00I want you all to be winners.
01:03This will peer into your imagination.
01:06Nobody's in the room but you and that pen.
01:09If you try and describe what the movie's about, the worst thing that you can do is say,
01:13it's about a young woman who suffers from substance abuse due to a violent childhood.
01:18And she saves herself through swimming and riding.
01:20It's like, no, no, no.
01:20It's about bleeding.
01:22It's about being an open wound and having to be secretive about it.
01:27There's something about watching Imogen actually reach an orgasm as a young woman who's been stolen from her whole life and how powerful it feels.
01:36And you see nothing explicit.
01:38It's just that it feels like, whoa, it's I'm so proud of that moment.
01:43It's when I watch it, especially in a theater with other people, I have to literally cover my mouth from because I'll be like laughing loudly.
01:50I'm like, I can't believe we got to do this.
01:53So, yeah, I mean, I think if I were to tell people what the movie's about, it's about not any of the things that happened to Lydia Yuknovich.
02:01But just what it feels like to not be able to close yourself up and have the place in which life comes from also be in need of protection.
02:12I've wanted to work with her for so long.
02:14She's one of my favorite actors.
02:15I've always just felt this connection to her face and her voice and how funny she is.
02:20And I needed Lydia to be so overtly likable because she makes some choices that are kind of hard to get down with sometimes.
02:27I mean, she's not the easiest person, protagonist to follow.
02:30And we've also both found ourselves at a sort of turning point in our adult lives.
02:36Like, we're both 35.
02:38We've both been actors for a really long time, since we were kids.
02:42And beginning to listen to your inner voice and beginning to share your secrets.
02:46And I don't want to beat a dead horse by saying the same thing over and over, but just to be able to look at each other and go,
02:51I think it's time to sort of, like, take all of our clothes off in public.
02:55But not for them.
02:57For us.
02:57We're similar in some ways and then also so different.
03:00Like, I could never have played this part.
03:02She's so stunning.
03:03She just, she has such a, she has such a sort of, like, explosive vitality.
03:08It blows me away.
03:08I think the movie looks like me.
03:10I keep thinking about the fact that as we speak, people are watching it in a big theater, like over a thousand people.
03:17And somebody was like, are you nervous?
03:18And I was like, no way.
03:20It feels so good.
03:22It's like a bloodletting.
03:23And also, I did not make a movie that is for everyone, per se.
03:28But if I had made something kind of more straight down the line, it would be for no one.
03:31I'm so happy for the little film to have its own life and to sort of have to stand on its own two feet and take the lashings, but then also soak up the love.
03:42Because I do know that some people this movie is for.
03:45How many miles does it take to swim to a self?
