We spoke with lovegwendoline on 'Flux Gormet,' Brienne of Tarth's impact on 'Game of Thrones,' and working on 'The Sandman' and 'Wednesday.'
From writer/director Peter Strickland, the indie drama Flux Gourmet is a feast for the senses, as a culinary-based performance collective takes up residency at an institute run by the extravagantly dressed Jan Stevens . The trio of Elle di Elle , Billy Rubin , and Lamina Propria already have their own issues, but when you add in creative suggestions that lead to differences of opinion and an unfortunate gastrointestinal disorder, the dysfunctional dynamic leads them to the brink of implosion.
GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE: Absolutely. Thank you so much. I’m really, really happy that you liked it. I had such a blast doing it. I absolutely loved Jan Stevens, and having the opportunity to play such a bizarre and eccentric character. It made me feel very fulfilled. It was thrilling, creatively, to have that opportunity. I absolutely adored it. I’ve been very fortunate, in my career. I was very lucky to play Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones for nearly a decade.
CHRISTIE: It was really thrilling. I was very grateful to Peter [Strickland] that he was so generous, creatively and collaboratively, particularly with regards to how Jan looked, as a character. So my partner, Giles Deacon, designed Jan’s costumes, and he loves Peter’s films. He loved the script and absolutely adored Jan. I was an amazing creative relationship, between the three of us, to discuss who this character was, and then to express that.
You talk about playing different roles and being in these different worlds. Between taking on a character like Jan Stevens, who’s almost indescribable, then going on to play a character like Lucifer in The Sandman, for which I love that comic series, and then going on to do something like Wednesday and working with Tim Burton, it just seems like you’re in these incredible worlds.
