NOOMI RAPACE SAYS SHE AND DE PALMA EVENTUALLY FOUND A WORKING RHYTHM WHILE FILMING 'PASSION'
As Valdimar Jóhannsson's Lamb gets set for release in France next week, Allocine's Thomas Desroches asks Noomi Rapace to talk about "five experiences that changed her career, from the role that revealed her in 'Millennium' to her return to Icelandic cinema." One of those five experiences is Passion:
"I was very intrigued by the relationship between my character and that of Rachel McAdams. They are very complex and desperate women, with a whole set of admiration, seduction and hatred. I felt like I was in a minefield, you never know when it's going to explode. It was a very difficult shoot, psychologically. I did a lot of research on psychopaths and met a professor who specializes in the subject. I was playing a woman with a sociopathic disorder, which means she has no empathy. It was a different way of working.With Brian De Palma… [she pauses, Editor's note] there were a lot of clashes! He's from another era and I have a lot of character myself. I think he's used to filming with women who do whatever he asks. We held on long enough, and then we finally found a working rhythm. He was an old movie maestro who met a young rebel, obviously… But it was a very interesting and stimulating shoot."
