PODCAST| Matt Micucci interviews Anna Eriksson, director of the filmM.
Filmmaker Anna Eriksson presented her first feature film, M, in the Venice International Film Critics Week, the parallel section of the 75th Venice Film Festival. This is a film that explores the relationship between sexuality and death and that draws inspiration from the legend of Marilyn Monroe. Eriksson talks about the origins of her interest in Monroe, plus the construction of her film (which took her several years to make) and whether she believes it could be screened in other settings besides a cinema screen and more.
M explores the relationship between sexuality and death, which appear to be at opposite poles, but in fact, they merge in all of us, disguising the fear of death or the desire to die, the world of Eros.
