I'm going to begin by asking because we are just following on from the fight.
Obviously, I was there last night in the same
screening as you just wouldn't be
for someone who's been in this industry for a number of years now.
Does it ever got normal
seeing yourself on a big screen in a room with a thousand people?
Is that something that you've just had to get used to it,
or do you still watch and still scrutinize over your performance?
And I think it just it's it's I don't like it.
I don't like watching myself.
And of course, I scrutinize some of the performance, but it's also
I don't want to be exposed like that.
Yeah, it's very embarrassing.
But I guess in some ways it must be easier
to watch a film like this because obviously
use of a lot of it's set in kind of flashbacks.
So I guess for half of the movie, I guess you're able to sort of sit back
and enjoy it perhaps like I would.
Yeah, Yeah.
I enjoy the flashbacks very much.
And of course, welcome once again.
I mean, I wonder what it is about him as a filmmaker that Lord you back in.
And just secondly, think that kind of shorthand this developed.
I mean obviously
you're someone who's done a lot of collaborations
with filmmakers before we see Lars von Trier sort of springs to mind.
It must just create such a nice atmosphere on set.
When you go on set,
you know what they want from you and you know what you want from them.
Exactly.
And I also know what he's good at and what he's bad at,
and he knows what I'm good at and what I'm bad at.
And but we have we have similar taste, but we also
we are different enough to sort of trigger each other and challenge each other.
But but it is it's it's the the wonderful thing is it creates
a sense of safety, which means that you can be much, much braver.
And that's what we do.
I think when it was introduced yesterday, they said this is a co-production
between Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and you get that quite a lot in Scandinavia.
You get these kind of films, the kind of nations come together to
produce a movie more so than I'd say you do get in any other parts of Europe,
but what you think is about Scandinavia as a kind of area,
but that has that kind of sense of of really unity.
I mean, more so than in many parts of Europe.
You have this kind of little section of it.
Everyone is feels very intertwined and in a good way.
Yeah, Well, first of all, it is it's a culture
that is that is it's one culture.
In many ways.
There are differences, but it's one culture.
I mean, since the Vikings, we were we came from Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
But but it's but it's also
it's necessary because it's
I mean, it's like what is it like 18 million people in three countries?
It's like London.
So you have to get together to be able to finance films.
And if it goes to this performance is quite an internalized display.
Do you find that kind of harder or easier when you're
less of a character who doesn't have to say very much?
Obviously there's a lot going on in their mind.
I. Several of the films I've done with Peter,
I've had little to say, and I really like that.
I enjoy that because to me
what I love about cinema is that it's
not a literally a literal art form.
It's not like theater, which is basically spoken literature.
And it's
it's everything is what happens between the lines.
So I like that it's not easier to do work without lines.
It's harder in some ways, but it's also
also you don't have to learn lines, which is fantastic.
And I've never liked doing Homeworks
because the characters of is quite nostalgic and very reflective
are something I feel quite similar to that in real life and also what you do
to relax of see, okay, so let's go for nice dog walks and reading a book.
And it's one thing how you wind down at the end of a night.
I cook and I read books and that's what I, how I wind up.
But I'm not very nostalgic or I don't think I don't dwell
much on the past.
I'm I have eight kids and I still have small children.
So you really have to be present so that when I get older, I deal with the past.
It's weird, isn't it, for you?
Because I guess a lot of your past is on screen. It's available to us.
I mean, if you wanted to look back over your past,
you've got this kind of wealth of movies to do.
So yeah, I'd rather not watch myself.
And of course, in terms of what's coming in the future, then, I mean, Dune
is obviously one that we're ridiculously excited about and ever want to keep going.
Added to the course. We keep just sort of salivating.
Obviously that is famous as well, not only for being incredible story,
but a very difficult film to bring to the big screen.
But you must all be so excited about, about the challenge.
And I guess you're taking away that kind of element of the fact
it might be a curse story and hoping that you can bring something new to it.
Yeah, I don't think about any curses or anything.
I'm just very happy to be able to work with Denis Villeneuve.
So and I think if if anybody can do it well, he will be the man to do it
so much for.
Thank you. Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are watching.
Hey, you guys.
Yeah, you guys are you guys?
I That's what they all say.
You guys.
