“I read everything, which is unfortunate because it’s probably corrosive to my brain and to my spirit. If you spend all day ready screenplays, something happens that’s profound and regrettable. Sometimes I want to do something that they don’t want me to; they’d rather have somebody who means more at the box office. My taste is without category. I don’t judge a script because it’s coming from a studio. I read it openly, hoping that there will be something in there galvanizing for me.”
– Holly Hunter
Nine Lives is a fascinating movie broken up into nine scenes that seem unrelated at first but as you continue to watch you will find that they are all connected sometimes by certain characters and always by themes of isolation and regret. Writer/director Rodrigo García makes it even more powerful by shooting each of these scenes all in one take. This is Holly Hunter’s second collaboration with Rodrigo García after the film Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her.
