Declaration

film director

“Nora is, essentially, the embodiment of our fears, our anxieties, but also of our hopes and our understanding of what it means, from our perspective, to be alive, or rather, to feel alive. I don’t know if she represents a generation, but I do think we are eager to see powerful, erratic female characters on screen, who try to push against so many inherited structures and prejudices.”
