So now Mira-as-Irma can literally act like a ghost, stealing a necklace or listening in on private conversations?

For Assayas, it looks like the next natural step for what has always been a ghost story.

Cinema was the wild west, you know?

You may forget it at times.

Why are we making movies now?

Whos willing to put their lives on the line for movies?

We live in boring, dark, dull times.

Where is the sense of adventure?

The industry has taken over cinema.

Lawyers, big-dollar franchises, platforms, you name it.

But indie films, they are no better.

They preach until you are sick of them.

Cinema was for bad guys and bad girls.

Like rock and roll.

But Assayas isnt a bomb-thrower by nature.

The fascinating part of this development, however, is that Mira has never wanted it.

She has the black magic to do it.

Outtakes

Im going to teach these people how to make a film today.

Herman is probably not wrong about that.

(We met on the dark net, says Zoe.)

Congrats to Regina for locking down her first feature at 25.

Do you know who else made his first movie at 25?

A promising gentleman by the name of Orson Welles.

The movie was calledCitizen Kane.
