23 identities live in Kevin's body who are you and I went on too long awful things to people and he'll do awful things to you why did I choose to split so split was actually a story from a while ago that I've been wanting to make and this last couple of movies have been making kind of smaller kind of funny / scary movies and this tone of like dark humor is something that I find really really provocative right now and I it's something that I'm interested in doing and this idea really lends itself to that okay and Anya I mean your character doesn't really have a lot of fun was it a kind of a fun experience for you I mean it was amazing I was learning so much every day you know working with James in such close proximity it's really like an acting masterclass because he's just bouncing around from so many different things working with night is unbelievable um very specific demands excellence which I really thrive in like I love that environment but um ya know we had to have a good time because it's a dark film otherwise you wouldn't really want to go to work alright so this is a film about you know a mental health issue were you concerned about betraying mental health we worried that maybe there's some suggestions that this kind of story might stigmatize mental health how did you approach that yeah I mean you know it's by the end of the movie you you feel great empathy or for him every single human being that's watching it is rooting I know it's strange I don't give anything away right but it's breaking with convention and taking darkness and talking about humanity and complexity and talking about trauma and what I'm making a mainstream movie about trauma I you know I love to imbue these kind of ride movies with real real drama real real conversations about life and you come away with great empathy for those individuals and it's strangely you're kind of you know conflicted and inspired at the end okay and speaking of real things I mean you both have in terms of your background - born in you're obviously I believe you've lived in Argentina and all around the world and looking at sort of this is a story about someone who has divided personalities within themselves looking at the world do you see the sort of bitter division and are you concerned about the kind of division that we're seeing so the political cultural social landscape that we're seeing moment I you know I'm I'm a super optimist and guys I feel like this was an inevitable moment of having everyone dealing with globalization this is it's inevitable this conversation had to have it have to happen this is a last moment of can we have it back the way it was and the answer to that is no you can't um you know you you this is just right here this is this is you're seeing movies by an Indian and Argentinean that's just the end life is not it's not going to get Senegal back the way it was like a week I don't want to say that they're there that's bad and we're good or anything like that I understand there's a loss there's a loss of the way it was and I can understand where they're coming from but the reality is that 20 years from now the world is gonna be a very homogenized place and you're gonna see everyone and everywhere
