Alexander Payne & Director Eva Nathena On Greece's Oscar Submission 'Murderess
Despite being on opposite sides of the globe—Nathena at home in Athens and Payne, who had just been in Greece, in New York—the two Greek filmmakers and longtime friends share a candid and illuminating discussion about Nathena’s adaptation of Alexandros Papadiamantis’ classic novel. Set on a remote Greek island at the turn of the 20th century, Murderess is a poignant exploration of maternal dominance, societal oppression, and the complex bonds between women. Payne and Nathena’s rapport brings a warmth and depth to the conversation, as they discuss the creative challenges of adapting a literary masterpiece, the cultural and historical contexts of the story, and the film’s universal relevance.
