Filmmaker Lucile Hadลพihaliloviฤ asserts that โคbuildingโ a significant body of work-fueled by passion and dedication-is more vital than chasing a conventional career, asโข revealed โคin a recent Interview magazine conversation with Gaspar Noรฉ. The discussion delves into Hadลพihaliloviฤ’s artistic process and the thematic core of her โlatest film, The Ice Tower.
Hadลพihaliloviฤ’s perspective arrivesโ at a moment when the film industry is increasingly focused on franchise-drivenโฃ blockbusters andโฃ rapid content creation.Her emphasis on artistic integrityโค and the slow cultivation of a unique vision offers a counterpoint to this trend, resonating with independent filmmakers and cinephiles alike. The conversation highlightsโฃ theโฃ importance of โpushingโ boundaries and exploring challengingโฃ subject โฃmatter, a practice โcentral to Hadลพihaliloviฤ’s work and increasingly relevant in a cinematic landscape frequently enough criticized for its predictability.
Noรฉ initiated the dialog by inquiring about Hadลพihaliloviฤ’s preferred sequence from The Ice Tower, prompting her toโ spotlight a pivotal scene: the young protagonist consumingโค a bird asโ a exhibition of allegiance to โฃthe Queen.Hadลพihaliloviฤ described โขthe moment as โฃa crucial turning point, marking the girl’sโ transgression of a significant taboo, powerfully portrayed by actress Clara Pacini.
“[The young heroine devouring the bird] is a turning point โขin the โfilm where the young girl crosses aโฃ boundary, โฃbreaks a taboo,” Hadลพihaliloviฤ explained to Noรฉ. “Clara Pacini playedโฃ this scene in aโข stunning way.”
Hadลพihaliloviฤ further articulated her overarching philosophy, stating,โ “Try to build a body of work, not a career, andโ pour โinto itโ all the passion โand determination you’re capable of.”
