“It was like conjuring up the space and textures of that time again. It felt like magic,” says the director
is being seen as a sequel. But you have described it as a continuation.
Joanna Hogg: My initial idea was to tell one story, but in two pieces. I see it as a whole. And then there’s the split in the middle. The films are reactions to each other. Practically, you need quite a lot of money to make one film. I wanted to protect that second part, but I was fearful that I wouldn’t be able to make it, and then for me it would have been an incomplete work.
JH: Exactly that. I made the decision that all the influences would all be ones that I had when I was first making films. Our approach, not just with the film within the film [Julie’s graduate film], but the whole thing, had more of a feeling that we were doing something that we hadn’t done before. It was an adventure. And rather like a student, I suppose it felt like you could make mistakes.
JH: It was also strange for us when we were filming, to go back to her flat because we felt, as a cast and crew, the history of it. And we’re mourning it, and mourning Anthony not being there anymore. It’s funny how those emotions come up. But that’s also a product of recreating that space, which, for me, was a very powerful conjuring up, a very powerful space to be in, because it was so reminiscent of somewhere that I knew, and was so faithfully recreated.
