Andrea Arnold's characters are—like Arnold herself—restless spirits. Trapped in lives that are too small for them, they push boundaries to break open their worlds. From the volatile Mia in Fish Tank, Arnold's most celebrated film to date, to Wasp's Zoe, a single mother of four who wants to live her own life, Arnold has compassion for women with a devil-may-care attitude and the desire to live an untethered life.
Arnold's new film American Honey will have its premiere at Cannes next month. "I never imagined my life like this," Arnold, who grew up with a single mother in a large working-class family, told Ira Sachs (Keep the Lights On), during a Tribeca Talk moderated by Sachs yesterday. "Every once in a while I just think, 'Wow, this is weird.'"
Here are some tips she shared during the talk about filmmaking and living an unexpected life.
"I love chaos because it brings life. I don't like being in control of the set; I like going to shoot not knowing what's going to happen."
