Furniture stores are strange places. The liminal feeling they give off is something like a life-size dollhouse or home you once lived in but can’t remember when. If you’ve ever been int…
and layer an air of magical realism over themes about motherhood and the growing up, and it’s exactly like that.
What a nice way to put it. Starting with the book, when did you first read “Mamma I Soffa” and when did you realize you wanted to adapt it for the screen? As you grow up, you start to sort of think of the tiny knives that you’ve been stabbed by. I had a great childhood in so many ways, but when you start to digest life and why you are the person that you are, you start discovering things. And I wanted to make a complex film about that. Life is not black and white. The absurdities are in the grayscale somewhere and it’s confusing and hard to get and funny and tragic all at the same time.
The truth is, I grew up with movies like “Freaky Friday” and “13 Going on 30.” It sounds like a joke, but I love those films. They play with this weird sensibility of magical realism that I think is profoundly impactful. Look at “13 Going on 30.” Sure, it’s a silly comedy, but at the core of it, I think it’s a discovery of self and what it means to grow up. I honestly wanted to make a modern version of “Freaky Friday.
I think most exempary of that magical realism was the climactic flood scene when the couch becomes a boat for Mother. What did that scene mean to you and to the film as a whole? I’m a huge fan of actors, obviously. The actors you see in the movie were my top picks on the list I dreamt about when we were in pre-production. The only convincing I had to do was with Ellen Burstyn. She terrified me to the core twice: first with “The Exorcist” and then with “Requiem for a Dream,” and also reading her biography book, I knew she had it in her. I just knew she could go there. I had to have her.
