Declaration
film director
“The movie came through Ed Pressman, who was my producer on American Psycho, and I was a little reluctant because I’d done a similar film about Andy Warhol. But then my husband said, «You can make this a portrait of a marriage». So, he wrote the script, and I was very excited by his take. It’s also about Salvador Dalí in his last years as his fear of death and aging takes hold and he starts looking back on his life in flashbacks”.
