BREASTS

Marija Perović ‘s BREASTS : SEEfest 2021 Interviews; talks about balancing the personalities and relationships between four distinct characters in her film

In the interview, we talk about Marija’s work with the main actors in the film – since those performances were a highlight for me me personally – as well as how they each came to the project from different countries. We also talk about the seeming rarity today of having a film focused on 40-something leads and their behavior (as opposed to a having a film fronted by a much younger cast). We also discuss the editing process and balancing the four characters equally when a really strong individual performance can inspire an editor to give them more screen time than was originally intended.
