Breaking Baz: French Filmmaker Fleur Fortune Steers Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Olsen & Himesh Patel Into “The Danger Zone” For Dark Comedy Drama ‘The Assessment’ — Toronto Film Festival
Director Fleur Fortune discusses working with Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Olsen and Himesh Patel on ‘The Assessment’.
Filmmaker Fleur Fortuné says it was necessary to take Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Olsen, the cast of her thrilling debut feature The Assessment, into “a danger zone” for them to fully comprehend the implications involved in making a movie set in a dystopian future where couples have to grovel for permission to have a child. Vikander plays Virginia, a sort of Calvinistic Mary Poppins; stiff, upright, seemingly very proper in a starched white and stark black uniform. We first meet Virginia as she enters the home of Mia (played by Olsen) an agricultural bio chemist scientist who has designed a mammoth greenhouse that contains the last samples of thousands of plants and vegetables that were saved before destructive natural forces doomed the planet.
