"Interview" stars Steve Buscemi and Sienna Miller
|
by Erik Sean McGiven on Jun 24, 2007
"Interview" stars Steve Buscemi (Lonesome Jim,
Fargo, and Reservoir Dogs) and Sienna Miller (Factory Girl, Casanova, Alfie) in
a sexually charged film about media, truth, and celebrity. The movie plays like rush hour traffic on the
405 on the worse of all possible days and in this scenario the audience becomes
lookie-loos drawn into one verbal collision after another.
<>Buscemi plays a respected political journalist assigned to
interview pop diva and B-movie star Miller.
He finds it beneath his dignity and their two worlds collided, he as
serious political writer and she as superficial celebrity. The interview in a restaurant lasts only ten
minutes and they depart separately.
Buscemi is involved in a taxi accident and Miller, walking home, takes
him to her nearby loft to tend to his injuries.

For the next hour and a half they verbally spar in a game of
bumper tag, where egos are dented and then quickly patched with superficial
silly putty. This is a tour de force
performance where Miller and Buscemi engage the audience's interest and remain
dynamic despite the long extended conversation.
We are taken for a ride where truth and deception become blurred; where
the movie plays more so in our minds than on the screen. And while we wait for the big crash and burn
scene, the story takes a strange twist at the end. As the credits come up we
wonder what happened to these two people, more so what's going to happen to
them. Yet despite these questions, we
care.

The film is directed by Steve Buscemi, written by David
Schechter and Steve Buscemi based on Dutch director Theio Van Gogh's film by
the same name and Theodor Hotman's original script. 83 Minutes. Rated R.
