Hey, good morning. You sue,
how are you and where are you?
Starting with you, Nina?
It's actually deep
in the night is like
12:00 o'clock midnight in
Berlin. Yikes. Yeah, no, no.
All good. I'm in Sydney.
Awesome. Well,
lovely to talk to the two of you.
I love this movie so much.
I literally just saw it for
the second time moments ago,
so it's still fresh.
My first question was going to be,
Kate, how do you feel about
your German in this movie?
But I guess I should ask you, Nina,
how is it determined in this movie?
Oh, I was amazed. She just,
she was up on this on this podium,
you know, in the where we were
shooting our scenes with the Dresner
Philharmonics and all of a sudden
she turns around and says something
to the to the sound guy in German
like and without hardly any accent.
You know I was like when? How
how can she do that?
When did that happen?
It was amazing.
It is brilliant, Kate, for
you, which was more difficult
learning the the language that
the music. We're learning the
language of German. Well,
there were sort of inextricably
LinkedIn a way. I was fortunate to meet
this extraordinary woman who teaches
German to opera singers who are speaking,
who are not German speakers.
So she also knew all of the musical lingo
and was helping me tweak all of that
stuff and make sure that I was saying
the exact right thing to the orchestra.
Because of course we had the Nina
and I had the Dresden Philharmonic
Orchestra in front of us,
and so we had to make music with them
and all of the music. Is diegetic.
So it's the music that you hear in the film,
is music that we made with them.
So it was so daunting.
So it was kind of, I was quite overwhelmed.
But I I was speaking to someone,
a concert pianist yesterday,
who said that, you know,
I was talking about nerves,
performance, nerves.
And I was full of them in this,
in this, you know, film.
And she said the whole thing about nerves,
she was always taught by her piano
teacher that you always think
about the music and that nerves
are very selfish because that means
you're thinking about yourself.
And so that's I that piece of advice,
it was really,
it was really kind of germane for
me because I I thought I I have
to think about the thing.
I can't think about how terrified
I am because man, was I terrified.
That's amazing question that pretty
much would carry over into any
endeavor you're doing in life.
Yeah, exactly. You don't have
to be a concert musician to
appreciate this this film.
It's very human, I think.
I'd love this ensemble.
And Nina, for you I you are brilliant.
I love your work.
Having known a little something about you,
I know that you're theatrically
trained and as experienced
in theaters you are in film.
I would guess that forms a kinship.
You had a pretty good idea of what it
was going to be like working with Kate,
and I just want to talk
personally and professionally.
Any surprises or see exactly
the person you thought she'd be.
Oh, full of surprises because she
is someone who challenges herself,
who challenges the character,
who challenges the people around
her in the best possible way.
And I really, I never go into anything
with big expectations because I
want to get surprised, you know?
And I and I had the feeling
the two of us glad for me.
We clicked and and then we had,
we had the first scene.
And things happened that I couldn't
foresee and and it felt right and it,
you know, and you could take it to
other places that you didn't really
knew were there and that that was just.
That's me.
Let's say I expected it from.
And I met a phenomenon.
Performance is all the way around
are phenomenal. So wrap it up.
Kind of a newlywed game game style.
Because music is such a backdrop
of this film, I'll ask your music
question for each of you. So Nina,
if you were to dig into Kate's iTunes,
you'd likely find an album from what artist?
Sorry, what do you mean items like?
Playlist in her music playlist you would
probably find an album from what artist?
Her private or lydias?
They're private, realized the person. King.
You know what? We haven't
really but Bacharach.
David Bowie. All
right. A quick answer,
Kate, back at you. Sonic
Youth and Bob Dylan.
Awesome choices, you guys.
Thank you for all of the
you brought to this movie.
Thank you for making the
world a better place with
it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
