Schrader and the film about metoo: "I didn't want violent images"

(ANSA) - TURIN, NOVEMBER 27 - All the president's men? No, in the case of IO TOO, screened today at the Turin Film Festival and in theaters in mid-January with Universal, it is the case of 'all the president's women' because in Maria Schrader's film there is the story of the two New York Times reporters, Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, who with their investigation have revealed the abuses in Hollywood and prompted many women to report.

And that is until the Weinstein case.

   To interpret the two reporters, Carey Mulligan (A Promising Woman and An Education) and Zoe Kazan (series Il Plottocontro l'America, The Big Sick - Marriage can be avoided ... love can't).

   "While collecting the testimonies, I didn't want to show the sexual violence. - says the director - With such a delicate subject, we asked ourselves what to do right from the start. Then we established that it wasn't right to add violence to violence and then we didn't want the attention to focus on even for a moment on the perpetrator of this violence. This would not have been right. Better to leave room for the imagination of what had happened".
