Nepales speaks to director Sean Baker and actor Mark Eidelshtein about their work in the critically acclaimed film 'Anora'romped off with Cannes’ top prize, Palme d’Or, filmmaker Sean Baker finds that his film has not lost its momentum — now, it is being buzzed as the best picture frontrunner this awards season.

“It’s been great to see people gather outside of theaters after these screenings. When I listen, I can hear they’re talking about the ending. So, that’s been nice.”are also still rhapsodizing about the virtuosic 28-minute scene that let’s just describe as a home invasion sequence to avoid spoilers. Suffice it to say it’s ensemble acting and direction at its best.

I asked Sean about casting Mikey, Mark, and Yura Borisov, an award-winning Russian actor who plays Igor, a thug with a heart of gold. The three are part of the formidable cast. “We asked Mark for a self-tape. He sent in one of the funniest self-tapes we’ve ever seen. And from that moment on, we couldn’t see anybody else for the role of Ivan.”

“He screaming at her louder than she was screaming during that climactic moment of the home invasion. That’s his idea. Yura is a wonderful actor. And he’s already a star over there . I have a feeling he’s about to be a universal star.”. “Pretty early on, I have to tell you, and it was mostly because of my incredible cast,” answered the 53-year-old director. “I would be on set, they would be making me laugh, and they would be surprising me daily.

“Because every good actor has a great performance and I’m a young actor trying to catch it, to develop myself and raise my skills.” On that 28-minute scene which further challenged the actors since Sean rewrote the script every morning, Mark commented, “Honestly, it wasn’t a big problem that Sean was changing everything, every time. I was happy for Sean because it’s a movie, it’s life organizing, a life structure and it’s like your kid.”
