After directing three films and an Emmy-winning episode of The
Sopranos, Steve Buscemi turned to Holland--specifically to the work
of Theo van Gogh. Before his 2004 murder by an Islamic extremist, the
Dutch filmmaker (and Vincent van Gogh descendent) was planning an
English-language version of his 2003 Interview--even considering
Madonna for the Katja Schuurman role. In Buscemi's reconfiguration,
the actor plays jaded journalist Pierre. Once a war correspondent, he
now takes any gig he can get. When his editor assigns him an
interview with tabloid fixture Katya (Sienna Miller, doing her finest
work to date), Pierre grudgingly acquiesces. Their first meeting in a
restaurant is a bust. But through a chance second encounter, they
continue their verbal volly in her roomy Manhattan loft, where Pierre
discovers that Katya is sharper than her image suggests, and she
learns about his tragic past. They flirt, fight, kiss, and cry. By
the end it becomes clear that one of them isn't being completely
honest... --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Product Description
Self-destructive journalist Pierre Peders (Buscemi) is no stranger to
violence and inhumanity. Having made his name as a war reporter, he
has traveled the world seeing some of the most horrifying sights
imaginable. So he feels that his current puff-piece assignment, an
interview with pop diva, TV and movie star Katya (Miller), is beneath
his dignity. The two meet in a restaurant and, instantly, it's a
collision of two worlds: Pierre's serious political focus and Katya's
superficial world of celebrity. But perhaps all is not as it appears.
When Pierre is slightly injured in a traffic accident inadvertently
caused by Katya, she's the proverbial girl who causes traffic
accidents, they end up in Katya's spacious loft for a long night of
talking, drinking, sparring, and coming close to a sort of embattled
intimacy. Each is scarred in their own way, aching from deep, hidden
pain. But honest revelations give way to punishing deceptions. Their
confrontation evolves into a passionate verbal chess game spiked with
wit, intrigue and sexual tension, capped with a riveting twist ending.
