Show Notes

Anamaria Vartolomei is the French-Romanian star of Audrey Diwan's film "Happening," about a young college student in desperate need of an illegal abortion in 1960s France. The camera follows Vartolomei's character so closely, both literally and figuratively, that you begin to feel like you are experiencing the movie from inside her. On this episode, Vartolomei talks about why the closeness of the camera actually made her feel protected; how curiosity rather than competition helped her in the audition; how feeling safe leads to fearlessness in action; and the importance of breathing, surprises, and, most importantly, anger.
