00:00I get so many people saying to me, I grew up on your films, and I'm always going, oh, right,
00:04right, I guess I am that old.
00:06Well, firstly, it's great to see yourself, John Goodman, John Turturro, Julianne Moore, all in like big, interesting movies all
00:13out at the same time.
00:14To see that Lebowski vibe still dominating cinema, as it should.
00:19But it made me wonder, like, do you ever think about cultural impact and things like that?
00:24Like the impression that your kind of performances have left on the world?
00:29Because you must see stuff like this all the time.
00:32It's nice.
00:33You know, I'm tickled by it, you know.
00:39It's just nice.
00:40You know, I've been around a long time now, and I am taking advantage of, you know, the work that
00:48I've done.
00:49Now I get so many people saying to me, I grew up on your films.
00:52And I'm always going, oh, right, right, I guess I am that old.
00:56But these people now are filmmakers and writers.
00:59And, you know, so it's wonderful to, like, to, in the beginning of your career, you're trying to get attention.
01:05You know, you're trying to get directors to notice you.
01:08And so, yeah, it's nice to be able to have a body of work that people appreciate.
01:14I think also having kind of an inherent sort of lovability as well, which has been, it's interesting.
01:20Because I think of your performances, you have a very likable, like, personality, like off-camera and on-camera as
01:25well.
01:26But you've played a lot of, you've played, like, some psychopaths.
01:28You've played some quite twisted people.
01:31But I think having that sense of being able to bring an audience along, like, they almost root for you
01:38even if they don't quite trust you or they know they outright shouldn't trust you must be quite fun to
01:43kind of play with.
01:44It's a lot of fun.
01:45But it's also the function of good writing.
01:48You know, I think, you know, I've been, I get offered a lot of, you know, these types of roles.
01:54But if, but I go, well, no, that's not, it's not there, you know, it's, there has to be something
02:01else that's underneath.
02:02And that's what I think Martin does really well.
02:04The characters are, are surprising.
02:06There's always something that, you know, that you can discover and be like, oh, oh, oh, oh, that's who he
02:12is.
02:13Oh, that's how he deals with the stress.
02:14Yeah, it's, it's nice.
02:16Yeah, and your character certainly deals with the stress in an interesting way.
02:19Yeah.
02:20That's a very good payoff.
02:22Filming like, as actors, you must travel around a lot filming in all sorts of places, but filming somewhere as
02:27specific as Easter Island, that must be, because it's such a small place, must be so like immersive almost to,
02:34to be filming out there.
02:37Marianne, being, being from Chile, you, you may be more familiar with it yourself, but how was that whole experience
02:43like being out there together in this kind of.
02:45I knew a lot about Rapa Nui, or that's what I thought, but being there for the first time was
02:51very, very special.
02:52It's very different from what I've known about Chile, the desert, the Patagonia, and then you land in a tropical
02:58island full of wild horses with this very, they're very respectful with their culture, with their language.
03:05You can, you can feel the energy of the volcanoes, and it's a strong place with a strong history and
03:17heritage.
03:18It was very special to be there for one and a half months.
03:22Martin said casting you was important because he wanted to give some authenticity for the film, because whilst there's like,
03:28there's, there's comedy and uncertainty, it's still also covering a very dark period of history.
03:34How did that feel for you?
03:37Like, did you, did it feel most like your character was a, in a way, like the soul of the
03:41film, in some senses?
03:43I think that she has a big heart, that it's very open to have a conversation with a person that
03:51says that it's an agent from the CIA.
03:56I think that the arc of Monica is very interesting.
04:00And, and for me as Chilean, I really appreciate that Martin wanted a Chilean actress to play this role and
04:07to, to tell this story.
04:09And finally, just working with Martin McDonagh, he's the most creative swearer I've ever seen in, in writing, in film.
04:18His films, for the people that love him, they mean like a lot to us.
04:22So just give us a, a quick sort of reflection on, on working with somebody, somebody like that.
04:28So, like the writer directors who, you know, this thing is that they live and breathe the, the work that
04:34you're involved in.
04:35That must be really exciting.
04:37Uh, it is. It was.
04:39Yeah. And he's a gentle soul too, you know, it's, um, it's not like, you know, you meet him and
04:48he's like a character in his, in his film.
04:50He's so, you know, kind of gentle and, um, curious and, and, um, you know, collaborative.
05:00Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think you've made something very special. Uh, it's, it's probably my favorite film that I've seen
05:06this year.
05:07No biggie. Um, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do next. Um, thank you.
05:12Hopefully get the band together. You can go to another island somewhere. Yeah.
05:15Yeah.
