Interview (2007) 7/10

Starring : Sienna Miller, Steve Buscemi
Director : Steve Buscemi
Running Time : 85 mins

Political journalist Pierre Peders (Buscemi) has had a falling out with his editor so, as a sort of punishment, he is forced into producing a fluff piece about actress Katya (Miller), star of television’s City Girl and a variety of slasher flicks. It isn’t long before Pierre annoys Katya to the point that she walks out on the interview, but when she sees Pierre injured in his cab she takes him back to her loft apartment where the interview continues…

Fans of Buscemi will enjoy seeing him actually take a lead role for a change, and his interplay with Miller is surprisingly believable for such an unlikely pairing. There is some humour, but the majority of the one hour plus conversation is dark and depressing and very revealing of the two characters involved. This is a good film with a nice though obvious twist in the tale.
