00:00I've only been here four times.

00:02I came with my mom a long time ago,

00:04but it was a kind of like out-of-body experience.

00:07I was deer in the headlights.

00:08I didn't know what I wanted to do with myself

00:10or my life or how to do it.

00:12Then for Claire Denis, having her to look up to

00:15and lead the way was absolutely spectacular.

00:17And now with these two movies, I feel super lucky

00:21and trying to enjoy every single step of the way

00:24because I'm around so many amazing people.

00:26This is it.

00:29The moment of truth.

00:30While making it, I really didn't overanalyze anything.

00:34It was kind of more of like a dreamy,

00:36kind of free-falling experience

00:38where I was just going for it.

00:41You know, I watched it for my second time last night

00:43and I have all kinds of takeaways.

00:44I could sit here and talk to you about it for an hour.

00:46Like, we'd have to get into it.

00:48But certainly, thematically, it's talking about

00:51power and control and all the bizarre things

00:56that humans do in this world.

00:58I found all of my characters pretty hopeful

01:00in a pretty hopeless environment.

01:04I love the Chanel family.

01:07I feel so lucky to work with them.

01:09It makes me feel like a princess.

01:11It's so special.

01:13I couldn't imagine a more beautiful dress.

01:15Virginie Viard just outdoes herself every single time.

01:17I'm a big fan.

01:19It's kind of no different from being a fan of Yorgos

01:22and being in a Yorgos movie, being a fan of Virginie

01:25and getting to wear her designs.

01:27It's very special.

01:36That movie is a bit of a cautionary tale,

01:40like a fairy tale gone wrong.

01:42It kind of magnifies what the world is doing to women,

01:48how corrupt and dangerous it is.

01:53Demi and I found we had so much in common.

01:58I adore her, and she was the best partner in this.

02:00I couldn't have imagined anybody more fearless,

02:04more compassionate.

02:05She's just really smart and really great.

02:08My character's so different from me,

02:10so I think I'm more like Demi than my character is.

02:17I think I'm more like Demi than my character is.
