Trailer for the movie "Milk Teeth" (Venice Film Festival)
Eliza Scanlan will celebrate her 22nd birthday just next month, but has managed to get through quite a bit in her professional life: the Australian actress will star in a successful HBO series, "Sharp Objects," where she played her mother;
Appeared in the Oscar-nominated film, the new adaptation of "Little Women," in which she played the character of Beth;
Took part in a star-studded Netflix movie, "Always the Devil";
And participated in a film that competed in the official competition of the Venice Film Festival, "Baby Teeth" ("Babyteeth").
If all that wasn't enough, last summer she directed her first short film, "Mukbang", which initially won a prestigious award at the Sydney Film Festival, but was then accused of racism, which led the young creator to apologize for it and even delete her Instagram, a step that is undeniably serious From him in our day.
I first met Scanlan at the Venice Film Festival about a year and a quarter ago, after the premiere of "Milk Teeth".
The interview is only published now, because the film is only available here now - and exclusively on yes's VOD.
These were of course the days before the Corona, but even so the conversation touched on gloomy issues, as these are the contents of the film.
The thriving actress plays a high school student with a terminal illness, and spends the last days of her short life with her dysfunctional family and a young man thrown out of his house, whom she met by chance at the train station.
Unlike most festival films, "Milk Teeth" is not afraid to press on the emotion glands, and many and many came out of it weeping bitterly.

"This character is like a supernova exploding," Scanlan says in an interview with Walla!
A culture that exists with a group of journalists from all over Europe.
"She tries to experience everything possible in the few days she has left, so she has to cram a huge amount of emotions into a very small space. It's a character that stays with me more than any other character I played. I'm always kind of depressed at the end of filming, but this time the content was so Emotional, which was really hard to get rid of the role. In a sense, I fell in love with the character. I went on vacation right after the filming, and I remember sitting on the beach and starting to cry. At first, I did not understand why, until I realized it was hard to say goodbye to the team that accompanied me. ".
Dealing with death at a young age made you appreciate life more?
"Yes, definitely, and it made me take more risks. I learned that it's good to be afraid - if you're afraid, it's a sign that you're alive. Many of those close to me have told me that I have changed as a result of the film, and I feel transformed, mature and more open." .
Your character in "Little Women" also turns out to be terminal blue at a young age.
Is it a coincidence or are you attracted to such roles?
"There's nothing deliberate about it, I promise. I don't know what's pulling me in the direction of terminal illnesses, but I hope this is not a pattern that is going to continue."

The Reborn Women: Our Review of "Little Women"

An empowering experience.

In order to appear as a young woman undergoing treatments, Scanlan shaved her head hair.
"The reactions to it were really interesting," she says.
"I would walk down the street or take the train, and I noticed that people really have a hard time looking me in the eye or looking at me for a long time. Maybe it was out of pity, maybe out of compassion - but either way, it was really felt. Hair is a very important part of our identity, "Probably as young women. His shave made me realize how much we hide behind him, so challenging it was very empowering for me."
"Milk Teeth" is the first feature-length film by Shannon Murphy, who previously worked mainly on television, and has since managed to direct two episodes of the series "Kill Eve".
“I also worked with male directors and enjoyed it a lot, but I like working with women more,” Scanlan says.
"Both in the case of Shannon and in the case of Greta Grevig, who directed me in 'Little Women,' I felt they had a special sensitivity. I had very personal conversations with Shannon. I felt comfortable with her, and opened her face as I would not open to a man."
"I think in recent years we're seeing more and more characters on the screens redefining what it's like to be a woman, breaking the stereotypes and presenting her as a multi-faceted personality. A series like 'Playbag', for example, has done it excellently, and "There are these qualities."
The crowd came out crying.

Soon, we will also be able to see Scanlan in "Old," the new thriller from M.
Knight Shamlan.
“In the beginning, I stormed into every project that came my way, but following‘ sharp objects ’and‘ little women ’, I have the luxury of refusing offers and the freedom to be selective and shape my career just the way I want,” she said in this regard.
Unsurprisingly, you started your career in 'Near Far'.
I wonder if this is mandatory in Australia, like military service in Israel.
"Yes, it's an initiation ceremony that every player in Australia has to go through ... Seriously, I feel like I've been very lucky to appear in this series. I learned the whole basics from it. It was like attending an accelerated introductory course to acting."
