Kristen Stewart on Why The Chronology of Water Is ‘Like a Female Orgasm’


The first-time feature director is at Cannes with a film she promises has “big tit energy.”

The result is a guttural yell, raw and poetic, and a real showcase for Imogen Poots as Lidia Yuknavitch, whose memoir of the same name Stewart adapted for the screen. Chronology is messy, structurally and visually and viscerally, playing with time and space and memory and oozing with bodily fluids — tears, spit, sweat, come, pee, blood, vomit. Basically I needed to give the movie a life in order for me to slice it up and make something that felt more like a DMT trip, like a repossession of the body through words.
