Maria Bello on Haiti, Her Best Picture Preferences, and The Yellow Handkerchief
You know, Maria, I was reading that at the beginning of your career, you appeared in an off-Broadway production of The Killer Inside Me...
That's right! By Jim Thompson.
I don't know if you've been following it, but at Sundance, the film adaptation of The Killer Inside Me was extremely controversial this year.
Why?
It was so graphically violent -- you really see the pain that the sheriff inflicts on these women, especially his mistress.
He's very violent with her. Kills her. Who's in it, by the way?
Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba, and Kate Hudson.
[Long pause] Well.
Was your adaptation of the book as controversial?
I loved doing it. It was such a fun play to do.
"Fun" isn't necessarily the word I'd expect to hear about that material!
Well, it was one of the first really big things I did in theater. I don't know, it was just so raw! I like raw, I like getting down to the animal of something.
Of course, you're no stranger to controversy at Sundance. When you had the sadomasochistic Downloading Nancy there, a lot of the same topics about violence against women onscreen were being explored.
I know! Can you believe I was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for that? I was shocked!
Why?
I couldn't believe it! Hardly anyone saw it because it was so provocative and controversial. I'm really proud of the film and I'm really proud of the work, but you know, it was a really controversial film. It made me excited about my community of independent filmmakers that they don't really give a s**t if it's controversial -- they care if it's a good story.
How much do you engage with that controversy? When you read a script like that, are you already envisioning the kind of people who will be offended?
I don't really care. I don't!
