Interview is a 2007 film directed by Steve Buscemi, based on the 2003 Dutch film of the same name directed by Theo van Gogh. The film stars Steve Buscemi as Pierre Peders (formerly a celebrated political journalist) and Sienna Miller as Katya, a talented and charismatic actress best known for her role in a popular daytime soap opera.
The film kicks off with Pierre being fired from his job as a political journalist by his editor Luc. Pierre is initially infuriated by the incident and decides to drown his sorrows at a trendy nightclub. It is at the nightclub that he runs into Katya and winds up inviting her for a drink. What follows is an impromptu interview between the two, conducted in Katya’s plush and luxurious loft.
As the night progresses, we see Pierre and Katya slowly opening up to each other. What starts as an awkward conversation between two strangers blossoms into a deep and soulful exchange of thoughts and emotions. As the barriers between them dissolve, we see both Pierre and Katya revealing their innermost fears and desires.
Through the course of the interview, we learn that Pierre's disillusionment with journalism is due to his own inadequacies as a journalist and Katya's flamboyant public persona masks a troubled personal life. The two characters, initially seemingly worlds apart, began to strike an unlikely and endearing connection.
Overall, Interview is a poignant and engaging film that explores themes of loneliness, regret, and redemption. The film brilliantly captures the nuances of human emotions and shows how two seemingly disparate individuals can connect on a profound level.
