“This place looks like Disneyland,” says Dakota Johnson with admiration. This is his first visit to Karlovy varies, and his attempts to profit from local sites and delights were unfortunately developed by the number of tourists on the picturesque main trail of the city of Spa. “It was a little difficult to move, so I went to the gymnasium instead,” she recalls. However, she admits having tried absinthe – an extra -know local spirit also known as the green fairy – the previous night. “It burned my nose,” she said. “Is it healthy? I had only one mouse sip. ”
Johnson has two films at the festival, Céline Song’s surprise sleep Materialists And Cannes by Michael Angelo Corvino struck SplitsvilleThe two adult and adult Romcoms take place in the modern world of relationships. Although she jokes on her dark side (“I would love playing a psychopath”), right now Johnson ended up in a good groove. “I am so interested at the moment by romance and love,” she says, “and how it can help people and save people and ignite a little hope in the hearts of people.”
Speaking of Materialists In particular, she says she thinks that her central dilemma-should her character end up with suave, rich Harry (Pedro Pascal) or John-Scubble John (Chris Evans)? – is something that everyone can identify with. “The question is: you are fighting for the life you think you want, or are you fighting to be really seen and really loved?” she asked. “Even if it means not having a certain sum of money or not having a certain type of lifestyle. I think it is a very good question. Now, because of social media, and because of the state of the world, people think they are supposed to have a certain type of life, because of what it looks like on the Internet. But we are human beings.
Stay with MaterialistsIt helped, she said, that the director’s song – like Lucy – was once a professional contribution. “I talked to her a lot,” she said, “and it was above all a question of hearing stories of her experiences, and the way she felt that people were more honest with her than they would be with their friends or family, or even their therapist, because people became so desperate to lock a certain ideal. And Celine found so interesting that these were more material aspects of life. ” She laughs. “And I also learned that dating is zero.”
Meaning what? “Well, I don’t know honestly. I don’t have a personal experience, but I know about my friends that trying to find your person is simply difficult. It is both beautiful and scary and I think that it makes human questions their value, which is sad. Some dating applications are incredible, and I know people who are not married and who are not in love, and the people who were created.”
Recalled that his first appearance on the screen was over 25 years ago, at the start in the direction of Antonio Banderas Crazy in alabamaJohnson, now 35 years old, quickly underlined the 11 -year gap between this film and the first professional Actor jobs that followed in 2010. “Yes, of course, it was my first job, but I played my mother’s daughter, and I was led by my stepfather, and I held my sister who was crying all the time. But after that, I was addicted. I said to myself:” Take me out of school, I just want to do that. Please! “And they didn’t leave me.
Speaking of her career, it seems that everything is on the table for her, and not only with her production company Tea Time Productions. “I would love to do theater,” she says. “I would love to make a room. There was a couple [of opportunities] In my career which was presented, but it did not work with a filming calendar. So, I think that at the right time, absolutely. I would love to do this. There is also a vague possibility of a musical career. But I am obsessed with music. In support of this, she quotes a regular monthly reading list on Spotify, which you can find hereIf you like Beach Boys, Arthur Russell, Sly Stone and more.
She is also a passionate reading – “I love a paper copy”, she says, “but I also have an iPad, because I want to help the environment – and manages a reading club in her increasingly limited free time. How does she choose, now that the reading club has been a year? “We are going to have manuscripts very early in the six-month club. Right now, just for fun, she reads Miranda July’s new book. “I loved his latest book, The first villainAnd this one is called … “She fights for a Really long to remember … “All four. “She laughs.
The next step for her is that of Michael Showalter TruthA rare “erotic thriller” for the largely comical Indies director. Then there is a project of which she refuses Point Blank to discuss (“it will be special”). But looming on the horizon is the probability that Johnson made his debut in the direction. “I think I will Direct a very small feature, let’s hope it soon. And it’s really close to my heart and very close to tea. We do it with Vanessa Burghardt, who played my daughter Chad really smooth. She is an incredible autism actress. What is funny is that I feel like I have always felt that I am not ready to direct a functionality. I don’t have confidence, but with her, I feel very protective, and I know her very well. She takes a break. It’s really the real answer.
