I was like, Yeah, okay, Idloveto meet Steven Soderbergh.
And then he asked me to do it.
So, it was a bit weird.
I never at any point thought it would turn into anything.
It was such an honor tomeethim and then I got toworkwith him as well.
And then I researched it and went, Oh, dear God!
But it was a limited time.
We shot for 10 days.
There was no rehearsal.
I mean, your character is being gaslit, restrained.
Its not something that is a flash-in-the-pan situation.
[Laughs] Yeah, yeah.
[Laughs] I can tell you, too.Youre an idiot!There you go.
The film was shot on an iPhone.
How much of a difference did that make to you?Well, a camera is a camera.
Ive never had that before.
It meant that we could get a lot done.
He was just experimenting all the time.
We shot it entirely chronologically.
It just moved a lot.
No one knew this film even existed until quite recently.
Did Steven ask you to keep it quiet?He didntaskme to keep it quiet.
And thats what I felt like.
He just doesnt agree with the system, he doesnt agree with the way the system works.
He doesnt agree that we should have to announce the film.
I just admire that quality so much.
Could you talk about your costars?
Youve got a lot of people from very different backgrounds: Amy Irving, Jay Pharaoh, Josh Leonard.Amazing.
[Laughs] But we just got on like a house on fire.
I just really really got on with him, which really helped.
If he had been method and odd, I think that would have freaked me out.
He even sent me these jokey messages saying, I know where you are!
And Juno Temple, I just think is I want to be Juno Temple.
I think everybody wants to be Juno Temple.Everybodysurely to godwants to be Juno Temple.
Its like shes in her own 70s film all the time.
I just love spending time with her.
I find her so exciting and alive.
And Jay was amazing, so funny and so clever.
And I loved Amy.
It was a really, really lovely job.
You have presumably seen the finished film.
What was that like?I loved it.
Anything in the hands of Steven Soderbergh turns into something completely unique.
[He] wasnt saying this is the best film ever made.
Unsaneis now in cinemas.
Watch the trailer for the film above.
