>>> WELCOME BACK. MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL’S CHARACTERS
HAVE RUN THE GAMUT.
>> YES, THEY HAVE.
SHE HAS TAKEN US BACK TO THE
SEEDY TIMES SQUARE IN "THE
DEUCE."
DEUCE." >> NOW, IN HER NETFLIX MOVIE
"THE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER," SHE
PLAYS A TEACHER THAT IS OBSESSED
WITH A GIFTED 5-YEAR-OLD
STUDENT.
STUDENT. >> WHY ARE YOU UPSET?
>> I’M NOT.
I’M JUST EMOTIONAL BECAUSE I’M
SO PROUD OF YOU.
YOU DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB.
>> THEY SLAPPED ME.
>> I LOVED IT.
>> MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL, WELCOME.
IT’S KIND OF HARD TO PIGEON HOLE
THIS MOVIE INTO A GENRE.
PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER.
PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER. THERE’S AN OBSESSION.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THIS
MOVIE?
MOVIE? >> I LOVE THAT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT TO ME,
WHAT GENRE IS IT?
IS IT A HORROR MOVIE?
IS IT A FRENCH FILM?
IS IT A PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER?
AND I THINK IT’S SOMETHING NEW,
YOU KNOW?
YOU KNOW? AND I SORT OF THINK IT’S
SOMETHING NEW MAYBE BECAUSE IT’S
MADE BY WOMEN.
AND I GUESS, JUST BECAUSE
SOMETHING IS MADE BY WOMEN,
DOESN’T NECESSARILY MAKE IT NEW.
IT DOESN’T EVEN MAKE IT A
FEMININE EXPRESSION.
FEMININE EXPRESSION. >> IT SHOWS S THROWS YOU A LITTL
IT’S CALLED "THE WINDKINDERGARTE
TEACHER."
TEACHER." AND I PUT MY EAR BUDS IN LAST
NIGHT.
NIGHT. MY HUSBAND IS DOING SOMETHING
ELSE.
ELSE. I’M LIKE, SHE’S SO LOVING AND
AFFECTIONATE.
AFFECTIONATE. AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, I’M
YELLING.
YELLING. AND I YELLED AT MY PHONE.
I SAID -- STOP WAKING HIM UP.
YOU GET CREEPY.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> IT’S TRUE.
WE LOVE YOU.
IN ONE MOMENT, YOU’RE THIS
LOVING -- YOU TOW THE LINE VERY
WELL.
WELL. I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.
>> I THINK THAT THE MOVIE IS
ABOUT A WOMAN WHO IS FALLING
APART.
APART. I THINK WHAT WORKS ABOUT THE
MOVIE OR WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO
DO IS TO MAKE SOMEBODY WHO COULD
BOTH BE YOUR SISTER, YOUR
NEIGHBOR, YOUR FRIEND, YOUR
KINDERGARTEN TEACHER ALSO BE A
HUMAN BEING WHO IS IN A REALLY
REAL WAY FALLING APART.
AND PERSONALLY, I THINK, IN
ORDER TO BE ALIVE, YOU HAVE TO
FALL APART.
FALL APART. >> YOU LET US BE UNCOMFORTABLE.
THERE WAS A MOMENT WHEN I WAS
WATCHING IT.
WATCHING IT. I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE WATCHING IT.
>> ONE MOMENT?
>> SEVERAL MOMENTS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
>> THAT’S THE THING, YOU GET ON
THE ROLLERCOASTER, I THINK, OF
THIS MOVIE.
THIS MOVIE. YOU’RE LIKE, WAIT, WAIT.
I DON’T KNOW WHO IS GOOD AND WHO
IS BAD?
IS BAD? >> AT THE END, IT BECOMES CLEAR.
I DON’T WANT -- YOU KNOW.
NO SPOILERS.
NO SPOILERS. >> AND THEN, IT BECOMES UNCLEAR
AGAIN.
AGAIN. >> THAT’S TRUE.
>> YOU’RE RIGHT.
THERE’S A PLACE WHERE YOU’RE
LIKE, OH, NO, NO, NO.
>> THERE’S A GRITTINESS TO THIS
MOVIE, TOO, THAT YOU’RE NOT
EXPECTING.
EXPECTING. YOU SHOT THIS IN 22 DAYS?
>> MAYBE THE GRITTINESS IS THAT
WE SHOT IT IN 22 DAYS IN
NEW YORK CITY THE SUMMER BEFORE
LAST.
LAST. WE SHOT IT IN 22 DAYS.
ANYBODY WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT
MOVIES WILL NOT BE SURPRISED
THAT THIS MOVIE ABOUT A
40-YEAR-OLD WOMAN FALLING APART
WAS DIFFICULT TO FINANCE.
SO, WE TOOK THE -- WE TOOK WHAT
WE HAD AND WE MADE OUR MOVIE.
>> YOU MADE A FANTASTIC FILM, I
THINK.
THINK. LET’S TALK ABOUT "THE DEUCE"
REALLY QUICKLY.
REALLY QUICKLY. JUST WRAPPED UP SEASON TWO.
SEASON THREE IS GOING TO BE THE
LAST, RIGHT?
LAST, RIGHT? >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> ANY SPOILERS?
WANT TO GIVE US SOMETHING?
>> I’LL TELL YOU A COUPLE
THINGS.
THINGS. >> UH-OH.
>> UH-OH. >> I JUST TURNED MY ATTENTION TO
IT.
IT. I JUST WAS LIKE, OKAY.
NOW, WHO IS CANDY GOING TO BE IN
SEASON THREE?
SEASON THREE? THERE WILL BE A TIME JUMP, JUST
LIKE THERE WAS BEFORE.
WE STARTED IN ’71, WE WENT TO
’78, I THINK WE WILL BE ABOUT
’82.
’82. ALL OF THE THINGS WE BRING TO
THE PORN INDUSTRY, IMAGINE, HIV,
COCAINE.
COCAINE. AND IMAGINE THAT FOR CANDY,
SEASON TWO IS KIND OF A TRIUMPH.
YOU KNOW?
YOU KNOW? IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DAVID
SIMON’S SHOWS, I DON’T KNOW MUCH
YET.
YET. BUT I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF IT
STAYS THAT WAY.
