Kindergarten the game porn4/11/2024 ![]() ![]() While I was in the waiting room I went to Audible to see if I could find something and they were advertising the audiobook of Juliet Stevenson reading Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own. Anyway, I was going to the dentist and I didn’t have anything to listen to. God, I take good care of my teeth and it doesn’t fucking matter because I always have cavities. Nick Cave seems intense for the dentist’s chair. Yeah, and I remember Nick Cave had a new album out the previous time I was at the dentist and I listened to that. Sorry, you listen to headphones while you’re in the dentist’s chair? That’s a great idea. I like to listen to something if I have to go to the dentist and I’d forgotten. I had a bunch of cavities to be filled and I was nervous. So I went to the dentist probably six months ago. Wait, I have organize my thoughts all the way from the beginning to explain myself here. There was something in The Kindergarten Teacher in the way that Sara wrote it that was feminine, and I’ve been thinking a lot about what that means. I feel like there’s something happening in this movie that’s new, and I think people don’t make noises like the ones I’ve heard in the screenings otherwise. The Kindergarten Teacher is an example: I’ve sat through two screenings and been there for the end of a few more, and hearing the reaction of people watching that movie is really interesting - the laughter, and people gasping at the end when it takes its first turn and when it takes its second. But then, also, don’t you find with your closest friends that what’s compelling you at a certain moment is also compelling them? As a culture, as a community, we’re often thinking about similar stuff. I get magnetically pulled towards a project because there’s something in it that offers me the opportunity to explore the edge of my understanding about myself. How much of your interest in behavior is about going inside and understanding yourself and how much is about wanting to communicate outward with other people? I’m compelled to explore the opposite of the fantasy. And a lot of times that’s an oversimplified fantasy. Instead we’re told what it looks like to love or what a powerful woman looks like. Because what’s underneath a performance is what’s most vulnerable, most human, most interesting. What I’m trying to do, even though I’m an actress performing, is create something human and not performative. I’m wondering if there are connections between your feelings in that regard and your work. ![]() Even though it was difficult to watch, to see somebody being so human in that moment felt so moving. Ford was in who are so lacking in a performance aspect. I don’t think we often see people in the kind of spotlight that Dr. I wasn’t thinking about it in contrast to Kavanaugh Kavanaugh had a different job to do. I found it shocking how little performance there was to her testimony. I missed a bunch of work stuff I was supposed to do because I didn’t do anything other than watch. I didn’t anticipate how consuming I’d find it. When I got there I rushed to the airport lounge to keep watching, and then I was able to stream it on the plane. while the hearing was happening and listening on the way to the airport. What were you thinking and feeling about what you saw? I assume that, like everyone else, you watched the Kavanaugh hearing. Though Gyllenhaal’s approach - always humane, always intelligent - has remained steadfast since she broke out with 2002’s Secretary, lately she says, “something in myself - it’s hard to say exactly what - has shifted.” That shift, as well as a great many other things - from her excitement about telling fully feminine stories to the controversy over her Deuce co-star James Franco - is what we discussed over lunch at a quiet Italian restaurant in Manhattan’s West Village. “I’m interested in showing what it actually looks like.” That’s exactly what the actress has done with her work as prostitute turned porn auteur Candy in the current season of HBO’s The Deuce and as the emotionally desperate title character in The Kindergarten Teacher, the latter of which begins streaming October 12 on Netflix and is already earning Oscar buzz for its star.
