Cult filmmaker Nicole Holofcener is celebrated for her closely observed comedies. Her latest, 'You Hurt My Feelings,' starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, opens May 26.
Though Holofcener has earned a cult following, she is far from a pompous leader. Speaking over video chat from her home in Venice, Calif., she is confident yet self-effacing, poking fun at herself while careful not to undermine her convictions. Frequent collaborators Catherine Keener and Julia Louis-Dreyfus each note that, as a director, Holofcener possesses an attractive amount of ego; she responds generously to feedback, but still pushes to make the films she wants to make.
suspects that he is a bad therapist. Beth’s sister , an interior decorator for the rich and picky, is seen regularly assuring her struggling-actor husband of his talent. In an echo of Beth’s conflict with Don, their son wonders whether her excessive praise of him throughout his childhood inflated his sense of self.
Keener remembers shooting a fight scene in “Walking and Talking” between Amelia and Laura. She and Heche, both young and relatively inexperienced, leaned into the melodrama of childhood friends sparring. Holofcener prefers subtlety; her dialogue is often praised for not feeling scripted at all. She walked over to the actresses and gave them a simple direction: “Not so yell-y.”
Because Holofcener’s main characters age alongside her, she finds herself revisiting some works as one would their own memories. She sometimes wishes she could redo parts of “Walking and Talking,” which she based on one of her own friendships, but balks at her kids’ suggestion that she try writing about “youthful people” again — or worse, her own adolescence. It doesn’t interest her. “Unconsciously, I just write about who I am now,” she says. “That’s what inspires me.
And yet Holofcener was the writing duo’s top choice for the gig. “The Last Duel” is split into three parts, each from the perspective of one of its main characters. While Affleck and Damon wrote the male chapters, drawing from Eric Jager’s 2004 book, they wanted a woman to write Marguerite’s perspective. Affleck knew Holofcener could capture “the asymmetry of human behavior.
