Swedish director-actor Mårten Klingberg will find out if his latest dramedy is as big of an audience pleaser as early test screenings predict when he presents “My Father Marianne” as the closing night of the Göteborg Film Festival on Saturday, Feb. 1.
I think you do a good job of making the film also from the father’s, mother’s and brother’s perspective. Overall, the book has a different tone than the film, which is more humorous. As I mentioned before, it’s all about creating believable psychological portraits. If you do that, then you can allow yourself to take the scenes further, to let them run away in a comical way, without it becoming too unrealistic. I never feared that we would be poking fun at the father. You can laugh at him too, it’s okay. People react in such different ways to all sorts of things. I don’t judge.
They all had to go through thorough auditions, especially Hedda. I knew that two things were needed to make the audience feel sympathy for a relatively selfish character. She had to be charming, but more importantly: the pain that her father’s transition causes her had to feel genuine. And Hedda has that capacity to make herself vulnerable. That is always the most important trait for me when you choose actors, but this time it was especially important.
