New York is the star of the film |
|
The Anita Pallenberg Story features professionals in the fine art community - artists, critics, curator our location is Manhattan and most of our cast members are New Yorkers - all of us, however, having been born and raised elsewhere. I would even suggest that our own narcissism as New Yorkers - for we are very egoistic, as emotionally attached to our city as the French are to their language - explains why it was so easy to assemble the cast. We take it for granted that we are special, and that the rest of the world, wherever that is, is curious to see and know us. Living in New York we are, in a sense, already living in a movie, breathing in a myth, sustaining ourselves on fantasies, manipulating the plot, believing against all realities in happy endings. The casting on Anita Pallenberg is an integral aspect of both the process and the form of the movie. The cast predates the script: we couldn't write anything until we knew who was playing whom. There's a sense in which the cast was 'curated' more than 'cast': we chose artists based on their artwork - but we wanted them, not their art products. |
