Mar 6, 2009 | 1 Comment | ByBirds Eye View
Mary Harron, the wonderful director behind American Psycho, The Notorious Bettie Page and I Shot Andy Warhol, touched down in the UK last night to attend her Masterclass and Retrospective at the festival this year. She is very very cool, and we just couldn’t resist asking her a few little questions before you can do the same at her events this weekend…
Rachel Millward: We are so excited that you are coming to the festival! We know that you will bring huge amounts of inspiration and learning to our audiences and aspiring filmmakers. But, from your side – what single thing would you like to leave behind / give to our London audience?
Mary Harron: A sense of determination.
All your films grapple with the implications of gender. Has this affected your audience?
It sometimes seems that women don’t get ‘American Psycho’ and men don’t get Bettie Page. That’s not always true, of course. But the films do divide people.
