 The movie has some incredible horror moments particularly body horror I wondered if you could talk us through some of your favorite moments of horror in the film and how you made them so horrific. Very complicated for me and I guess for you to to to the touch from the experience of making it. I would say I like the hook very much I think the hook is a wonderful thing by Ted Mueling a great designer who made it for us. The hook is great I think Alec Weck expression when she uses the hook is quite fantastic I think Fabrizia Saki magic spell to make Olga cry is a great moment. Yes I agree with that. But I think everything we described comes from the incredible power of performance of these wonderful actresses. When when Angola starts laughing when Olga leaves. Oh wow. Angola Winter. Amazing. Or the way in which Ingrid Cavern console at the end of the movie the old professor Clamper leaving bringing him out of the building in the snow singing him Brahms lullaby with all the contradictions and paradox of that moment. And then the women in the back of the office with the hooks and the officers with their pants down. I love the scene where Olga is in the room of mirrors. Timmy I think it's genius and and so spooky and makes your blood crawl and I haven't really ever seen anything like that in the film before and I definitely for me that's the scariest part of the movie. I've never seen dancing like this in film before I don't think I mean what was those dancing scenes like to film. Really intense really intense. I think they were scary because you know a dance is something difficult to achieve. Yeah it's so difficult to achieve especially when the dance the way that we shot it the first dance scene we shot was Volk was the performance of Volk and that was the first time that we were doing it in complete costume. It was like a real dance performance and there was an audience of extras and it was absolutely terrifying. It wasn't it wasn't like okay let's film the first 10 seconds let's film the first minute it was a six minute choreographed dance and it was difficult and terrifying. It felt very real they didn't really feel like we were filming scenes there was something very hypnotic about those dances and we've been training for months to for those scenes so by the time we got there it kind of just felt like an extension of what we were doing in rehearsal. It didn't feel like we were making a movie at all at that point which was really interesting. What sort of prep and training did you have to do for that? I trained six days a week eight hours a day and it was intense. I hadn't had any dance training before and I actually told Luca I had been dancing my whole life so I felt a real pressure to to really play catch-up. So you told a little fib? I would have told Luca anything to be a part of his film. Did he ever find out that that was a little white lie? No no well he I told him but then I ended up learning the dance and I think I did all right so it was all okay in the end. What's so beautiful too about contemporary dance is that it doesn't have to be perfect and sometimes the less trained you are the more raw and organic in a way it is. It's not a dance like ballet or tap or something like that. There's beauty to be found in the imperfection and when you're a little off rhythm and things like that. I remember we did it the first time and you didn't get up and say anything and then we did it like four more times and you didn't say anything and I was like I ruined it I'm terrible and then you got up after the fifth take and you walked by and you put your hand on my shoulder and you said brava. And then we were done. I didn't remember that sorry. Apologize for being called. I think you were focused but I was nervous. Your collaborations together seem like a real dream team. What's your favorite thing about working together? I feel safe with Dakota and I know that whatever she is and I can look at her in the eyes and it's like she's there. I feel completely free with Dakota. I can do whatever I want. Same yeah I feel the same exact way. The movie's got such a great cast you got yourself you got Dakota Johnson you got Tilda Swinton. I wondered what your most memorable moment from filming together was. The fact that we were on all female cast and we had all these incredible actresses who were such characters and so funny. I couldn't just name one that would be too difficult but I think as a whole to be in a movie led by an all female cast with a director like Luca just that alone is my favorite memory. We love watching you and Dakota on screen together and your chemistry. I wondered what's your favorite thing about filming together. She's very giving as an actress and that translates both on screen and off screen like she's just a very sweet thoughtful friend and that was probably the easiest part of the movie was befriending her and getting to know her it was very easy she was very thoughtful and there for me and it was a very intense shoot so we would help each other out and make each other cups of tea and she massaged my feet one day because it was really sore and it was just really taken by it it was very sweet. We're so excited for a call me by your name sequel what are you most looking forward to for that? I first think that it's not going to be a sequel it's going to be like a new chronicle in the life of these people. Well of course I mean it's a process it's something that is we're not yet there for many reasons including the fact that I think I'd like to parallel the age of the characters with the age of the actors but I believe that it's going to be great to see these people again. It's been in the news that you want Dakota to join for this sequel and Dakota would you be up for that? Yeah absolutely I love that movie and I love those boys. If you were to join what would you like to explore in that world? I have no idea. The 50 Shades series came to its conclusion this year I mean we're such big fans of that movie series would you ever be up for returning as Anna? I don't think that that's an option. Did it concluded for good? Yeah. She died at the end. Yeah. If you were to cast someone else in that role for a sequel like Way in the Future who would you like to see take on that role? She's probably not born yet.
