Neil Jordan Interview Greta
30Neil Jordan Interview Greta
With Greta opening this weekend in theaters, a few days ago I sat down with director Neil Jordan to talk about his suspense thriller. If you haven’t seen the trailer, Greta takes the stalker genre and flips it on its head, as it focuses on an unhealthy relationship between two women (Isabelle Huppert and Chloë Grace Moretz) who start off as friends before everything begins to unravel. In the film, Moretz’s character returns a lost purse to a lonely and disturbed woman (Huppert) and things go off the rails pretty quickly. Greta also stars Maika Monroe, Colm Feore, and Stephen Rea.
During the interview, Neil Jordan talked about designing the color palette with cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, what it was like filming the Isabelle Huppert dance scene, how the film flips the script trope by having the woman as the stalker, how the film changed in the editing room, deleted scenes, how they looked at Roman Polanski’s Repulsion for inspiration, and more.
