34 | make lms thatwouldhavebeen toohard to nance before, and attract brilliant actors to be in them. At the personal level, I hope it hasn’t changed me too much. I still live a very low-key life inDublinwhich suits me well. Your latest film, The Little Stranger, isgivingusagainahumancaptured in a housewhereweird things happen, although evil actually comes from this world and not from the other? -Yes, it’s anice contrast that Roomwas a lm about a tiny space that felt huge, while The little stranger is a lm about a very large space that feels tiny. I am under the impression that you love to enclose people ina small environment and see what happens. You even locked Frank in a plastic head.What doyouwant to say, that wearealoneandalienated, but that theworld is abeautiful placeas Brie Larson tells her movie son after all the horrors? - It’s compelling tome tostudypeople who are somehow separated fromothers andwhere thechallenges toa life livedwith any kind of hope and apetite are extreme. I’mnot surewhy that is, but I keep coming back to these kinds of stories. Andwhilewe’retalkingaboutFrank, howwas it toworkwithMichaelFassbender? I must say that I was sorry that you hid him ;-) - Many people feel like you! It was a pleasure to work with him, becasue he is such a great actor. And he was open to all the madness of the lm – very collaborative. He brought so much to the lm. You probably know that we really love St. Patrick’s Day, because you were inSerbiabefore.Whatareyour impressions? Are you looking forward tomeetingusagain, andwhy? - I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve always had a great timewith Serbs whenever I’ve met them on the festival circuit. I think Serbs are very similar to Irish people – they love to laugh and talk. Tell us somewonderful thingsabout your beautiful Dublin. If you had to choose a few, what things or places would you class as unmissable in your city? - I loveDublin and can’t seemto leave it for any length of time. I particulary like walking around the city when the seasons are changing. I’d recommend visiting some of the old pubs in the city centre – someof themhaven’t changedmuch since Joyce set parts of Dubliners and Ulysses in them. Or go and watch the deer in Phoenix Park. – Zanimljivo mi je da proučavam ljude koji su nekako odvojeni od drugih i čiji su izazovi da žive sa bilo kakvom nadom i voljom zaista ekstremni. Nisam siguran zašto je tako, ali stalno se vraćam na takve priče. KadsmokodFrenka,kakojebilo raditisaMajklomFasbenderom? Moramrećidami jebiložaošto ste ga sakrili. (smeh) – Mnogi ljudi su mi rekli to isto! (smeh) Bilo je zadovoljstvo raditi s njim jer je veliki glumac. Bio je otvoren za moje ludilo, divno smo sarađivali i mnogo je doprineo filmu. Verovatno znate da mi baš volimoDanSvetogPatrika, jerste biliuSrbijinafestivalunaPaliću. Kakvi su vamutisci? Radujete li se ponovnom susretu sa našom zemljom i zašto? – Zaista se radujem tome. Uvek sam se sjajno družio sa ljudima iz Srbije gde god da sam ih sretao, a naročito na festivalima. Mislimda su Srbi vrlo slični Ircima – vole da se smeju i razgovaraju. Recite nam neke divne stvari o svom prelepom Dablinu. Kada bistemorali da izaberetenekoliko, štabibiloonoštonesmeda se propusti? – Volim Dablin, čini mi se da ne mogu dugo da ga ostavim. Posebno volim da se šetam gradom kada se godišnjadobamenjaju. Preporučujem vam da posetite neki od starih pabova u centru grada jer ima onih koji se nisu mnogo promenili od kada je Džojs u njima pisao Dablince i Uliksa. Ili uživajte gledajući jelene u Parku Feniks.
