In this exclusive interview, in collaboration with Kinótico, we speak with legendary English director and screenwriter Mike Leigh and actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste, the duo behind “Hard Truths“.

Plot
Life's a constant struggle for Pansy. Racked with physical and mental pain, her dealings with the world are channeled through anger and confrontation: she argues with her family, her dentist, her doctor, the girl at the supermarket checkout... Curtley, her husband, has been at a loss as to how to deal with her for a long time while Moses, her son, lives in his own world, hardly says a word and spends his days aimlessly wandering the streets of the city. Only her loving sister Chantelle understands her and is able to help her.
Director Audrey Diwan and her actresses Merlant and Huang on why they decided to revisit an erotic cinema classic giving it a contemporary and feminist look.
