And how are you, Stefan?
Yeah, really good, I'm a huge fan of your work,
I still talk about Neruda daily to all my friends!
Thank you.
Telling them to watch it.. Oh thank you. Yeah.
I think I'm I'm going to begin.
I mean, there's a continuing thread of some sorts between
Spencer and Jackie, and they're both about women
who married into very kind of powerful dynasties
and how to live their lives in the public domain?
I'm just wondering what it is about this specific set up in an environment
that appeals to you as a as a filmmaker.
Why not?
No, I just because I
I look I'm fascinated by their figures and their legacies and what they did.
And as you well said, you know, they were both a woman
that was key on the
20th century women that were linked to very powerful families, that
dynasties, as you say,
almost they were married to
very influential and powerful man and woman
that had a very interesting and sometimes
complicated relationship with media.
But in both cases, a woman that we're able to go through it
like a woman that we're able to find their identity,
find their voice and women that, you know, served
as a lighthouse to follow for for millions around the world.
And that's what I think is fascinating.
I will say that, I think is for a movie about
grief and memory, and Spencer
is probably more about identity and motherhood.
But there were both very mysterious and I think the mystery side effects
of just cinema, and they were just really fascinating people.
And and you know,
that's what probably movies do to make movies about them, I guess.
Now I was reading that you said that you made this film for your for your mum.
Do you often have your parents in mind when you make when you make your movies?
Not especially
this one.
We, my brother, produces on the movie side also
slightly, we were both talking to him and said, Look, we were going to try.
We're trying to make a movie that you actually like because it feels
like the movies that I think that too dark
or or too complicated or however.
But but we decided to try to make a movie that we would like.
It's not just my mom, specifically her.
You know, I obviously love her.
I'm a lucky man that she's around.
But but like people like her, you know what?
She represents a woman that that
that grew up with with Diana for reference.
You know,
my mom has probably spent many years of her life
dressing like her following her fashion and cutting her hair like her.
And when she died, my mom was completely broken,
and it's always very interested on her life page.
And the other thing that happens to millions, I think that
that happens to a lot of people that that feel reflected on her
because she was a woman that, you know,
even though she had was born to privilege and was born
near the royal family that eventually become a member of the royal family,
she was always somewhat but felt so close, so regular
and so ordinary to some extent, then,
and that what people can relate to and that is just fascinating character.
Why not?
Why don't you just try to make a movie out of her?
Yeah, of course.
I would be amiss to speak to you and not talk about Kristen [Stewart],
who is just phenomenal in this,
and I was lucky enough to interview her a couple of weeks ago.
She spoke incredibly highly of her experience collaborating with you.
I mean, it's incredible performance.
How proud of you, proud of her something are you?
And thrilled to have been given this chance to collaborate with her?
I mean, she's one of the best actresses working today without without question.
You know, she's a piece of a genius,
and she's very skillful, of course, as a very gifted actress.
But at the same time, with someone that has so much mystery
and someone that you know, can carry the movie,
she just put the movie on her shoulders and walked with it.
You know, it's someone that has
an incredible enigma and.
I'm very happy we we work together, I learned so much,
and I also had a great time.
Was really fun to work with and
we got along really well and
I would love to work with her again next for the I don't know, I just
to someone the it's. It's
just very unique, you know, and
and even though the very difference with the difference with Diana,
they both have an enormous amount of mystery
and that's what I think the connection might be because this
is a matter of how much so many things they say.
It doesn't matter how much you know about them.
You would never really know who they are and that it's it's
very important to us and cinema, I think.
Brillant, thank you so much.
If I could have asked you many more questions, but one at a time. I did.
But thank you, Pablo.
Best of luck with the release, and I'm sure we'll catch up again one day.
Of course. Thank you.
